The Child's Prayer. 

[ At the recent annual meeting of the American 

Baptist Home Mission Society in New 

York, Mrs. J. S. Dickerson, of Chicago, referred 

to the following prayer of her little daughter, 

to illustrate the necessity of individual 

effort in the, mission work.J 

Sweet Gracie, the light of the household, 

Hath knelt in the twilight hour, 

Commending the friends that she loveth 

To the Father's keeping power, 

Not one of her pets is forgotten, 

Her kitten, her dog and doll. 

But deeper in meaning the favor 

She asks while the shadows fall: 

Now the old black cat, wilt Thou bless her, 

The cat with the g^reat green eyes. 

That wanders alone in our garden,— 

I'm sad when I hear her cries." 

The mother looked down on her darling, 

The child of her tender cafe, 

And told her she need not remember 

All cats in her evening prayer. 

The bright face grew earnest and thoughtful, 

And clouded in strange surprise, 

But the light of a child's true instinct 

Flashed out .from the sparkling eyes. 

And straightway she questioned her mother, 

" Well, now, will you please to say, 

If I did not think of the black cat, 

Who else for its good would pray ?" 

Ah, Gracie had mastered the lesson 

We tardily come to heed ; 

But always there wait for our footsteps 

Earth's lowliest ones in need. 

" Who else " if we turn from their pleading, 

Will unto their rescue spring ? 

" Who else " to the feet of the Master 

These sheaves for the harvest bring ? 

There are sorrowing hearts to cherish, 

"Who else" will the tear-drops dry ? 

" Who else " will be friends to the friendless 

While the fleeting years go by ? 

At last when our service is ended 

How sweet will His greeting be. 

" Inasmuch as for these ye labored 

Ye have done it unto me." 

ANNA SARGENT HUNT.



ROCHESTER, N. Y., AUGUST 15, 1885. 

NEW CHILDREN'S PAVILION. 

Laying the Corner Stone. 

It was a lively sight that greeted us on 

the afternoon of July 31st, as we entered 

the Hospital grounds from West avenue. 

The lawn was dotted with groups of people 

that had gathered to witness the exercises 

connected with the laying of the 

corner stone of the Children's Pavilion. 

Prominent among these were the little 

folks who have taken so deep an interest in 

raising funds for this charity. Babies in 

arms, babies in carriages, and children of 

all sizes were present. 

Beneath a tent, kindly loaned by Mr. 

James Field, Julia Robinson and Edith 

Peck, who have worked so effectively for 

the Children's Pavilion, were busy with 

their assistants, Alice Peck, Bessie Backus, 

and Philip Mumford, and Charlie Robinson, 

their cashier, in making arrangements 

for the sale of ice cream and cake, and as 

the result of their efforts they brought into 

the treasury thirty-two dollars and ten 

cents. Another group was composed of the 

Hospital boys,conspicuous among whom was 

Max Kraus in his rolling ehair, with his 

head in a leather harness. Gust Grunst 

had lost a leg; Sidney Greenslave had a 

stiff neck ; Freddy Lyons 1 hips were diseased 

; Tommy Jones had a broken arm ; 

Tommy Heeney was suffering from abscesses 

; Terrance Martin had his ankle 

injured by a boy coasting down hill, and 

Lawrence Barrows, six years old, the 

youngest of the Hospital boys, had broken 

his knee. Here was a band of little ones, 

candidates for the Children's Pavilion. 

Hospital patients in their rolling chairs, 

others with their crutches beside them, or 

in use, were interested spectators, and from 

the windows of the west wing of the Hos- 


pital, many who could not leave the 

wards eagerly watched all that was passing 

before them. 

The foundations of the new Pavilion 

have been laid northwest of the west wing 

of the City Hospital. The new structure 

is to be of brick, eighty feet long by thirtytwo 

wide, two stories and a half high, with 

a fine dormer roof. It will have accommodation 

in the wards for forty-eight patients, 

besides private rooms for twelve or fifteen 

others. The designs were gratuitously 

drawn by Mr. John R. Church, the architect, 

and Mr. W. H. Gorsline has contracted 

to build the Pavilion for $12,000. 

Money contributed by the children and 

other funds that the managers are allowed 

to appropriate, amount to $7,000, and the 

necessity for the erection of the building is 

so urgent that we trust ere long the remaining 

$5,000 will be raised for its completion. 

The speaker's platform on the north portion 

of the new foundation was protected 

by a canvas awning, and beneath this were 

seated representatives of the Board of 

Lady Managers, the Trustees, the Surgical 

and Medical staff, and also the Mayor, Dr. 

M. B. Anderson and the city clergymen, 

who were to take part in the exercises connected 

with the laying of the corner stone. 

Beneath the corner stone was a box of 

sheet lead twelve inches long, seven wide, 

and five deep, in which were enclosed 

copies of the Union and Advertiser, the 

Democrat and Chronicle, the Morning Herald, 

the Post Express, Volksblatt, Abend- 

Post and Beobachter, Sonntag's Journal, 

of this city, the New York Tribune, and 

THE HOSPITAL REVIEW of June, 1876; 

Feb., April, and Sept., 1877 ; Feb, 1878; 

Feb., 1879 ; Feb., 1880 ; March, June and 

Sept., 1881 ; Jan., June and Oct., 1882 ; 

March, 1883 ; Dec, 1884, and all the issues 

of 1885 ; also a history of the Hospital 

prepared in 1872, a Hospital Supplement 

issued in 1883, and a book containing in 

manuscript the names and donations of


children to the Pavilion Fund, the names 

of the Lady Managers, Trustees, Medical 

and Surgical staff and other officers of the 

Gty Hospital, also a list of the endowed 

beds. 

At 4 o'clock the exercises were opened 

by an appropriate prayer by Rev. Dr. H. C. 

Riggs. The following address was from 

Mayor Parsons, who presided on the occasion 

" We meet to-day upon historic ground. 

Ground made sacred, because in former 

days after life's battle was o'er, many of 

those who were early settlers here, who, so 

to speak, rocked the cradle of the beautiful 

city of which we now have a right to 

boast, found a resting place within this enclosure, 

beneath this sod. The strides of 

time, and the march of progress have 

everywhere been felt, and long ago, comparatively 

speaking, the 'Western Cemetery 

' was abandoned, and the bones of 

those who had so tenderly been laid away, 

were as tenderly removed to beautiful 

Mount Hope, and in their place has been 

reared this noble Christian charity, the 

Rochester City Hospital. Strange as it 

may seem, there are those among us, who 

believe that this is an institution supported 

entirely by a tax upon the people. And a 

like error prevails regarding St. Mary's 

Hospital, an institution in which we also 

feel a commendable pride. As one who 

knows something of the facts, I am unwilling 

that this error should go longer uncorrected, 

and I embrace this most interesting 

occasion to set right the misapprehension. 

To be sure, no tax unless it be of a local 

character is levied against either of these 

institutions. And why should there be ? 

And it is a facf that the city pays annually 

a few thousand dollars for the support of 

those who are friendless and penniless inmates 

within their walls. The amount so 

far as this hospital is concerned, is now 

averaging about ten dollars per day, and to 

this extent it is a tax upon the city. But 

THE HOSPITAL REVIEW. 3 

the error unjust, unnecessary, and as widespread 

as it has been, is unworthy of further 

consideration and my thoughts turn to 

the noble men and women who contribute 

of their means and of their time to the 

welfare of their fellow creatures. They 

are entitled to our thanks. Like David of 

old ihey are serving their generation, and 

like the sun, they are diffusing warmth, and 

cheer, and life all the day long. As a citizen, 

and as an official, I am pleased to 

meet with the friends of the Rochester 

City Hospital to-day. I have nothing but 

good words for its management, and expressions 

of gratitude to those who have 

made it what it is, and what in my opinion 

it will ever prove to be—one of the most 

noble and deserving of the many Christian 

charities of our city." 

Mayor Parsons was followed by President 

Anderson, of the Rochester University, 

who expressed his interest in this 

charity, and stated that it was deepened by 

the fact that for several years of his life his 

attention had been specially directed to the 

care of the helpless and unfortunate. He 

alluded to comparatively recent improvements 

in the methods of treating the insane, 

idiots, deaf mutes, and the blind. 

He spoke of the former wretched condition 

of pauper children, crowded and 

neglected in the county poor houses, and 

of the strong efforts that wei^ necessary 

before public authorities would place them 

in institutions designed to elevate and improve 

them. He enlarged on the benefits 

that would result from the establishment of 

a children's hospital, where malformed, 

diseased and crippled children, by receiving 

timely surgical and medical treatment, 

and careful nursing, might become useful 

and self-supporting citizens, who otherwise 

would be burdens to themselves, their families, 

or the community at large. He concluded 

by expressing his desire that the 

fondest hopes of the managers would be 

realized in the completion of the building


so nobly commenced. We regret we have 

not a full report of Dr. Anderson's interesting 

remarks. 

The next speaker was Rev. Dr. Anstice, , 

who said : " It is a precept of holy religion 

to rejoice with those who rejoice, and 

we now rejoice with all here that they can 

look upon the realization of a long-looked 

for event. We could rejoice much more 

if they had not to make bricks with so inadequate 

a supply of straw. As yet it is a 

venture of faith, though it is not a groundless 

faith, for it is one which reaches down 

and twines around the interest and sympathy 

of the children. I have great faith 

in the children, and I know the undertaking 

will succeed. I rejoice in this for two 

reasons : First, because the children now 

growing up will take great interest in what 

they have labored for, and second, they 

will receive by what they have done a 

blessed education in the very first principles 

of practical Christianity—doing good 

to others. What we all need is to rid ourselves 

of that demon, selfishness, and have 

more feeling for the sufferings of others. 

All success, therefore, to the efforts of the 

children, and may the Children's Pavilion 

^(all paid for) soon be an accomplished 

fact." 

The following is the address of Rev. N. 

M. Mann 

" There^re two classes of people I have 

envied, doctors and nurses ; people who, 

while we who talk are merely sentimentalizing 

on the miseries of mankind,take hold and 

do away with them. I have never seen a 

doctor soothing a sick person without 

thinking, here is one doing the work of life, 

not merely professing to do it. I would 

have been glad indeed to have been left off 

the programme and to have had my place 

represented by one of the medical profession, 

who might speak of what has been 

done, especially for children. I only know 

that in the course of the last few centuries, 

through the efforts of the medical profes- 


sion, the "average age of mankind has been 

raised to a high point, between thirty and 

forty years. Those able to judge think 

that in a savage life people live on an average 

only about five years. This is accounted 

for by the fact that many die in babyhood. 

It is thought from statistics that in early 

civilized times the average time of life in 

Europe was about twelve years. It is 

now thirty-six years. This result has been 

reached by the skill of physicians and 

nurses. Some years ago I had the honor 

of taking incipient steps in the formation 

of a society in this city for the prevention 

of cruelty to children which is now merged 

in the Humane Society, I'remember in 

the early years of the society's existence, 

we were embarassed by the want of a 

proper place to send children who were in a 

state of disease through the ill treatment 

of parents or guardians. The-Children's 

Pavilion will answer this purpose admirably. 

I thank God for the provision now 

about to be made. The doors of this institution 

are open to the rich and the poor, 

to Jew and Christian, to all classes regardless 

of faith or want of faith. I trust no 

lack of funds will prevent the advancement 

of this undertaking." 

The last address was made by Rev. 

Myron Adams. He said : " In anticipation 

of saying a word this afternoon I endeavored 

to get a litttle information as to 

how and when hospitals began to exist. If 

anyone has endeavored to learn this from 

common sources he has found them very 

meager. Hospitals are said to have existed 

under the Buddhists and during the early 

part of the Christian era ; but altogether 

little is known of them. I shut up the 

books and there came into my mind something 

pertinent to all kinds of hospital work. 

You all know the story. A man who was 

traveling between Jerusalem and Jericho, 

met with an accident. Certain men 

came along, one of whom had sympathy 

•with hospitals. The first of these gentle


men said, as he passed the man who had 

met with the accident : ' This is none of 

my business. A second gentleman made 

the same remark, while a third who was 

neither a Jew nor a Christian, nor a heathen, 

said : ' I have some business here. Then 

he put the man in his ambulance, a onehorse 

ambulance with no body to the carriage, 

and took the man to the nearest inn ; 

and he was something of a doctor 

too, he " poured in oil and wine," good 

things when properly used. Then he told 

the inn-keeper, when he left his charge, to 

take care of and nurse, and give medical 

attendance to the man. and he would be 

paid for it. That is the first hospital of 

which I find any authentic record. One of 

the most important things developed in a 

community is the hospital fever—that is, 

an interest in hospital work. There is 

often a little division in regard to charities 

and objects of charity. There is a little 

division among those on this platform, just 

as was the case with those who fell in with 

the man who met with the accident; but if 

we have any manhood and womanhood we 

are not divided on hospital work. We are 

sometimes troubled with cases which appeal 

to us, and which belong only to our 

particular sect. Here is something, however, 

which appeals to everyone who has 

any charity in his soul. They who are 

sick are the ones who make this appeal. In 

providing not only a Children's Pavilion 

but an entire hospital, there ought to be 

more and more developed an interest in 

hospital enterprises. Good Samaritans 

should be raised up everywhere. In common 

with those whe preceded me and left 

me nothing to say, I wish you God speed." 

The corner stone was then placed in position, 

and Mrs. M. M. Mathews and Mrs. 

Wm. H. Perkins, members of the Board of 

Lady Managers of the City Hospital, by 

their typical acts, the former striking the 

stone twice with a trowel, and the latter 

thrice with a mason's stone hammer, indi- 


cated their hearty participation in the work 

of the afternoon. At the close of the exercises, 

ice cream and cake, provided by 

Julia Robinson and Edith Peck, were dispensed 

for the benefit of the Children's 

Pavilion Fund, and enough remained to 

furnish a treat for the Hospital patients 

and nurses. 

The Hospital Inmates. 

After the close of the exercises connected 

with the laying of the corner stone 

of the Children's Pavilion, we visited the 

Hospital and found eighteen patients in the 

Male Surgical Ward, five of whom where 

confined to their cots. One of them had a 

leg badlv burnt by the explosion of a lantern, 

while on his way to the barn ; another 

had bruised his arm, being thrown while 

wrestling with another man ; a third, had 

burnt his foot with steam, while discharging 

his duties as engineer ; a fourth, had 

injured his back by falling twenty feet, the 

ladder on which he was standing suddenly 

breaking; a fifth had broken his leg by 

jumping off a railroad train. A new 

patient had been ordered to keep his bed, 

he had a bad knee that had been out of 

joint six weeks. The Hebrew man with an 

abscess on the hip had died. The Pavilions 

were empty. Six of the inmates of this 

ward were seated at a table in the ward 

eating supper. Five of the boys of whom 

we speak elsewhere had cots in this ward 

but were out on the lawn. 

Eighteen were under treatment in the 

Male Medical Ward. The aged man with 

ossification of the cartileges of the throat 

had died, as had one with Bright's disease. 

The excema patient was improving ; three 

men were suffering from rheumatism, a 

French Canadian had it in his feet, and another 

man had it in feet and knees ; one 

patient was very sick with pleura-pneumonia. 

The aged man with asthma and 

diseased heart was more feebie.


6 THE HOSPITAL REVIEW. 

Two persons died in July in the Female 

Medical Ward ; one of them was a German 

woman who had a diseased liver, the 

other was an elderly woman afflicted with 

rheumatism and other complaints. There 

were thirteen under treatment; one who 

had had peritonitis was still very sick. 

One person had injured the coating of her 

throat and stomach by swallowing washing 

fluid, and for six weeks she had been unable 

to take any solid food. One young 

girl had a diseased heart. The young woman 

injured by the falling of a building 

had so far recovered as to be up and 

dressed, but she feared her sight had been 

injured and had some symptoms of returning 

paralysis. 

In the Lying-in-Ward were three mothers, 

three babies, and three waiting patients. 

The Lower Female Ward numbered 

twenty patients. The woman with cancer 

had died, and the colored paralytic patient 

was very feeble, evidently failing. Tilly 

had had some of the diseased flesh removed 

from her arm. The poor girl has been suffering 

for two years and four months, and 

for the first time in five months she was up 

and had watched with interest from the 

window the exercises of the afternoon. 

The Little Folks. 

As we entered the Hospital grounds we 

found most of the boys gathered on the 

Hospital lawn all ready to witness the laying 

of the corner stone of the Children's 

Pavilion, of course they wanted to see this. 

Max Kraus, the German boy, nine years 

old, injured his back by falling over a stone ; 

a lump appeared and there was a curvature 

of the spine, and his lower limbs were paralyzed. 

He wears a plaster of Paris jacket, 

has a sort of leather harness to support his 

head, sits in a rolling chair and under Hospital 

treatment is regaining the use of his 

limbs and improving otherwise. He is 

always bright and cheerful. Gust Grunst 

is thirteen years old. He fell off a car 

and injured his leg so that it had to be cut 

off below the knee. He is doing well. 

Sidney Greenslave, fifteen years old, about 

a. month ago took cold and has a stiff neck. 

Freddy Lyons, two years old, has diseased 

hip joints. Tommy Jones, ten years old, 

fell off a tree and broke his arm and was 

wearing a sling to support it. Tommy 

Heeney was born ten years ago in the Hospital, 

he has been suffering from abscesses. 

Terrance Martin, a little fellow, had his 

ankle injured by a boy who was coasting 

down hill ; a surgical operation has helped 

Terrance and he now goes about without 

crutches. Lawrence Barrows, the youngest 

of our Hospital boys, six years old, has 

broken his leg at the knee ; he has been 

with us about three weeks. 

Rosa, our little German girl, was on the 

Hospital lawn, but Katie H., the girl with 

burnt limbs, has been confined to her bed, 

but she was dressed and watched the exercises 

of the afternoon from the Ward window. 

Poor Katie H. has to exercise a 

good deal of patience, as the sore on her 

burnt leg has been increasing in size, and 

the physician has ordered her to stay in 

bed for the present. Recently she has 

taken ether and had three pieces of flesh 

taken from her hip and grafted on to her 

leg, and the Doctor thinks the operation 

will be successful, but it is too soon yet to 

be quite sure of this. Minnie Bryant, who 

has a diseased heart, is better than she was 

a month ago and when we saw her she was in 

her rocking chair. These are the classes of 

children who will find a home in our new 

Children's Pavilion. We know all our little 

helpers will watch its growth with increasing 

interest.

something pretty for it.


The Friends of the Hospital. 

This is the season of the year when 

many of the prominent Hospital workers 

are resting from their labors, and we missed 

many of them at the time of the laying of 

the corner stone of the Children's Pavilion, 

who would have been deeply interested in 

the exercises. Some of these were prostrated 

by sickness, and others had invalids 

in their households. Dr. Wm. S. Ely had just 

started to take passage in a steamer to visit 

Europe, Mrs. M. Strong was recruiting at 

the sea shore, Mrs. Wm. H. Perkins was the 

only one of the original Board of Lady 

Managers who was present. One of the 

new members of the Board, Miss Anna E. 

M. Wild, was anxiously watching at the 

bedside of an aged aunt, Mrs. Joseph Medbery, 

who has since died. 

Coiitributions to the Children's Pavilion 

Fund. 

We find this month a long list of contributors 

to the Pavilion Fund. We love 

to think of all the children that gave the 

pennies that made up the dollar sent by 

Miss Anderson's Sunday School class. How 

interesting it would be if we knew where 

and how all the little folks raised the brick 

money. Some of them we know earned it, 

for they told us so. A package of money 

for twenty-two bricks comes to us from our 

little neighbors at the lakeside, and we have 

had more promised us. Six of these contributors 

come from one household. We 

see among the larger offerings several familiar 

names and some new ones. We seem 

to have friends far away, as well as near by 

us, who have responded to our appeal, and 

their names have been placed in the corner 

itone of the new Children's Pavilion, and 

we hope many of them will grow up to be 

hospital workers, to take the places of 

those who, in a few years, must lay down 

their work. 

A thanksgiving offering for " little Sallie's 


recovery," comes to us from her sisters and 

brother. This is the season of the year 

when a great many hearts are anxious for 

sick infants, and we hope next month we 

may have other thanksgiving offerings. 

The largest contribution is from Edith 

Peck and Julia Robinson, our indefatigable 

workers, who raised $32.10 by the sale 

of ice cream in their tent at the laying of 

the corner stone. 

Another offering comes to us of "four 

bricks, in memory of little- Richard of 

Annandale." You, children, will want to 

know who little Richard was, and so we 

vnust tell you of him, and I am sure you 

will be glad to know there are some bricks 

in the Children's Pavilion in memory of 

such a good, patient, little fellow. Richard 

Bulger lived and died at Annandale, in 

Dutchess county, on the east bank of the 

Hudson, opposite the Catskill mountains. 

For two or three years he was very feeble, 

and, early in May last, the Good Shepherd 

took him to that blessed fold where there is 

no pain, nor sickness, nor sorrow. Richard 

was not like other boys ; he could not 

frolic, jump and run with his comrades, because 

he had a disease of the heart that 

made him very quiet and feeble, and if he 

had played like other children he very 

likely would have died suddenly, in the 

midst of his • sports. He bore his weakness 

without a word of complaint or fretfulness 

; sometimes he would be missing 

and his friends would find him sitting in a 

•quiet corner by himself, sometimes Peri, the 

pet dog, would be with him, but not a 

murmur ever escaped him ; he was suffering 

and quiet to the end. He had a taste 

for mechanics, and made little' boxes very 

neatly, but he was not strong enough to 

do hard work. When you are sick, dear 

children, you feel there is no one to nurse 

and comfort you like father or mother, but 

little Richard was an orphan ; he had 

neither father nor mother, and there was 

no Orphan Asylum nor Industrial School,



nor Hospital near Richard, but a kind lady 

pitied the poor little orphan boy and welcomed 

him to her home at Annandale, and 

said to her physician : " You must put 

little Richard in my bill and take good 

care of him." An uncle and brother of 

Richard were employed by this lady, and 

all her servants were very fond of him, so 

for the last year of his life he found a 

pleasant home at Annandale, and every 

thing was done to make him comfortable 

and happy. Some children when they are 

sick find fault with their food and are not 

willing to eat what is best for them, and so 

make it very hard to take care of them, but 

little Richard was always satisfied with what 

was given him, and those who were with 

him the last year of his life recall his quiet, 

patient, uncomplaining spirit, and sweet 

memories cluster round the gentle little 

sufferer. At last he became so feeble he 

could not go up and down stairs without 

getting out of breath, so a little cot was 

placed for him in the basement, in a room 

adjoining the servants' hall, and there, 

when he was tired he would rest by day, 

and at njght his uncle slept beside him. 

The kind lady, the good physician and the 

faithful nursing could not save the life of 

little Richard. Day by day he grew paler 

and more feeble, and at last the little sufferer 

was at rest, but his name will long be 

a household word at Annandale, and we are 

glad somebody has sent " bricks in memory 

of little Richard of Annandale." Are 

there not friends, who, next month will 

send us memorial offerings for other little 

ones, who have left vacant chairs and pleasant 

memories behind them ? 

More Gifts to the Pavilion Fund. 

Since the reports for this fund were in 

type, two more donations have come to us, 

through our young friend Julia Robinson ; 

the one, of five dollars, from her grandmother, 

Mrs. A. H. Porter, of Niagara Falls, 

for her grand-daughters, the Porter, Osborne 

and Robinson children, for bricks for the 

Pavilion fund ; the other, of one" dollar, 

from Julia's little cousin, Ruth Osborne, of 

Auburn, N. Y. Ruth is only eight years 

old, and when she learned from THE HOSPI- 

TAL REVIEW what Julia had been doing 

for the Pavilion, she was inspired to earn 

something herself for it, and so she helped 

the gardener, and had a sensitive " tooth 

filled, and thus earned the dollar she sent 

us. We hope some other children will next 

month imitate Ruth's good example.

The Little White Hearse. 

As the little white hearse went glimmering by— 

The man on the coal-cart jerked his lines 

And smutted the lid of either eye 

And turned and stared at the business signs ; 

And the street-car driver stopped and beat 

His hands on his shoulders, and gazed up-street 

Till his eye, on the long track, reached the sky— 

As the little white hearse went glimmering by. 


A stranger petted a ragged child 

In the crowded walk, and she knew not why, 

But he gave her a coin for the way she 

smiled ; 

And a bootblack thrilled with a pleasure 

strange, 

As a customer put back his change 

With a kindly hand and a grateful sigh— 



A man looked out of a window dim, 

And his cheeks were wet and his heart was 

dry— 

For a dead child even was dear to him. 

And he thought of his empty life and said: 

" Loveless alive, and loveless dead— 

Nor wife, nor child, in earth or sky ! " 


—J. W. RILEY, in the Indianapolis Journal. 

A Brave Act. 

Some ten or more summers ago, a 

flat-bottomed, stern-wheel steamer was 

making its slow way down the tortuous 

windings of the Red river of the North. 

Among the few passengers was a little 

girl three years old—a dainty, fearless, 

winsome child—everybody's pet, from 

her father, an officer in the Hudson Bay 

Company's service, and the good-natured 

cuptain, to the grimy deck-hands, 

whose acquaintance the little maiden 

had somehow made on the lower deck. 

One afternoon the child was taken by 

her nurse to the floor of the lower 

deck. Three men were lying here, 

bound hand and foot. They were on 

THE HOSPITAL REVIEW. n 

their way to Fargo to be tried for crime. 

The sheriff kept a close watch on them, 

for they were desperate men. They 

guessed their game was up and accepted 

their fate with half-cheerful bravado; 

but the sheriff knew them for ruffians 

and bullies, and never left his post. 

The child came up to the men and 

looked at them curiously ; they looked 

silently at her. Perhaps these rough, 

crime-hardened men had never seen 

anything so dainty and sweet before. 

She was not afraid of them, but began 

talking in her pretty, broken words, 

and putting her baby hands on the fetters 

of one, smiled and said, " What 

dat ? " The man smiled back without 

replying, and soon the little maid moved 

away. 

As she walked, there was a sudden 

"jerk of the whole ship, it ground jarringly 

against some unyielding substance 

hidden in the water; it tilted 

over slightly, the child lost her balance, 

and with a scream, fell over the side 

into the water. The three prisoners 

saw her disappear. 

The prisoner to whom she had spoken, 

and whose handcuffs she had for a moment 

touched, exclaimed to the sheriff, 

" God! don't ye shoot, Bill! " Then 

quickly rolling himself over and over, 

he dropped into the water beside the 

child. His hands were bound, but he 

caught the child's dress in his teeth, 

and treading the water with his fettered 

feet, kept the child above water until 

help came, and it was some minutes before 

the steamer's boat reached them. 

The child was saved. 

" I guess you air a white man after 

all, Eriker! " said the sheriff, admiringly, 

to the man. . 

It was afterwards learned that the 

sheriff told the story to the "jedge," 

and the judge, with Western freedom 

and that admiration for a gallant act 

which covers a multitude of sin, so arranged 

that when it was found that 

Eriker, who was a Scandinavian by 

birth, had mysteriously disappeared, 

nothing was done beyond a little official 

bluster, and he escaped.



Are the Children Home? 

Each day when the glow of sunset 

Fades in the western sky, 

And the wee ones tired of playing, 

Go tripping lightly by, 

I steal away from my husband, 

Asleep in his easy chair, 

And watch from the open doorway 

Their faces fresh and fair. 

Alone in the dear old homestead 

That once was full of life, 

Ringing with girlish laughter, 

Echoing boyish strife, 

We two are waiting together, 

And oft as the shadows come. 

With tremulous voice he calls me— 

" It is night! are the children home ? " 

"Yes, love," I answer him gently, 

" They're all home long ago." 

And I sing in my quivering treble, 

A song so soft and low, 

Till the old man drops to slumber, 

With his head upon his hand, 

And I tell to myself the number 

At home in a better land. 

Home where never a sorrow 

Shall dim their eyes with tears, 

Where the smile of God is on them 

Through all the summer years. 

I know, yet my arms are empty 

That fondly folded seven, 

And the mother heart within me 

Is almost starved for Heaven. 

Sometimes in the dusk of evening, 

I only shut my eyes, 

And the children are all about me, 

A vision from the skies ! 

The babes, whose dimpled fingers 

Lost their way to my breast, 

And the beautiful ones, the angels, 

Passed to the world of the blest. 

A breath, and the vision is lifted 

Away on the wings of light, 

And again we two are together, 

All alone in the night. 

They tell me his mind is failing, 

But I smile at idle fears ! 

He is only back with the children, 

In the dear and peaceful years. 

And still as the summer sunset 

Fades away in the west, 

And the wee ones, tired of playing, 

Go trooping home to rest, 

My husband calls from his corner, 

" Say, love, have the children come?" 

And I answer, with eyes uplifted, 

" Yes, dear 1 they are all at home ! " 

Hard words are like hailstones in 

summer, beating down and destroying 

what they would nourish were they 

melted into drops. 

Elegant Hands. 

A pretty hand can no more be unfashionable 

than a pretty face, but just 

now, we are told, it is particularly " the 

fashion " to display a pretty hand. 

That elaborate box of nonsense, the 

nail-case, made of plush or satinwood 

and filled with attractive little implements 

never used, is in more than usual 

request. 

Girls spend an hour at a time polishing 

away with pink powder and a bit of 

chamois lether, or carefully pushing 

back with an instrument for the purpose 

the slight film of skin that obscures 

the white crescent at the base of 

the nail. A freckle on tne back of the 

hand fills them with dismay, and causes 

an instant dema-nd for lemon-juice. 

A red hand sets the owner to searching 

domestic recipes for the proper composition 

of almond-paste. A tendency 

to knobbiness of wrist or knuckles 

plunges the victim into despair. 

There is good in all this, but the 

thing may be carried too far. A young 

lady's hand should always be wellcared 

for and pleasing to behold, but 

there are some blemishes possible upon 

its beauty which no one should become 

unwilling to incur. Such is that roughness 

of the forefinger which is apt to 

follow much use of the needle. 

Such also is the puckered appearance 

of the hand of a young lady who recently 

washed dishes, or the stained 

fingers of the preserve-maker; and who 

would not regard the row of blisters 

along a rosy plam that has not disdained 

to grasp a flat-iron as honorable 

scars, no more to be considered a disfigurement 

than the sword-cut on the 

forehead of a soldier ? 

The prettier your hands the better, 

young ladies, until they become too 

pretty to be useful. The white, smooth 

hand with a ring upon it is a charming 

thing, but the hand that is redder and 

rougher, and does good work, has the 

first claim upon our admiration.

Monsieur Edouard Lockroyy the

at once took into his heart almost as a 

son. His son's widow was dear to him, 

his son's children yet dearer, and he accepted

which soon became real affection.

VOL. XXII. ROCHESTER, N. Y., SEPTEMBER 15, 1885. No. 2 

Lifted Over. 

The following beautiful lines, by H. H., 

have a new charm now that she has overtaken 

" the precious boy." 

As tender mothers, guiding baby steps, 

When places come at which their tiny feet 

Would trip, lift up the little ones in arms 

Of love and set them down beyond all harm, 

So did our Father watch the precious boy 

Led o'er the stones by me, who stumbled oft 

Myself, but strove to help my darling on. 

He saw the sweet limbs faltering, and saw 

Rough ways before us, where my arms would 

fail, 

So reached from Heaven, and lifting the dear 

child, 

Who smiled on leaving me, He put him down 

Beyond all hurt, beyond my sight, and bade 

Him wait for me. Shall I not then be glad 

And, thanking God, press on to overtake? 

A Situation. 

" Well, girls," said my Uncle Barnabas, 

" and now what do you propose to 

do about it ? " 

We sat around the fire in a disconsolate 

semi-circle, that dreary, drizzling 

May night, when the rain patted 

against the panes, and the poor little 

daffodils in the borders shook and shivered 

as if they would fain hide their 

golden heads once more in the mother 

soil—my mother, Eleanor and I. The 

first pale and pretty and silver-haired, 

with her widow's cap and her dress of. 

black bombazine and crape, the sweetest 

looking old lady I think I ever saw. 

Eleanor sat beside her, looking, as she 

always did, like a princess, with large 

dark eyes, Diana-like features, and her



hair twisted in a sort of coronal around 

her queenly head. While I, plain' 

homespun Susannah—commonly called 

" for short " Susy—crouched upon a 

footstool in the corner, my elbows on 

my knees, and my. chin in my hands. 

Uncle Barnabas Berkelin sat in the 

middle of the circle, erect, stiff and 

rather grim. He was stout and short, 

with a grizzled moustache, a little round 

bald spot on the crown of his head,and 

two glittering black eyes that were always 

sending their dusky lightnings in 

the direction least expected. 

Uncle Barnabas was rich, and we 

were poor. Uncle Barnabas was wise 

in the ways of the world, and we were 

inexperienced. 

Uncle Barnabas was prosperous in all 

he did, while, if there was a bad bargain 

to be made, we were pretty sure 

to be "the ones to make it. Consequently, 

and, as a matter of course, we looked 

up to Uncle Barnabas and reverenced 

his opinions. 

" What do we propose to do about 

it?" Eleanor slowly repeated, lifting 

her beautiful jetty brows. 

"Yes, that's exactly it," said my 

mother, nervously ; " because, Brother 

Barnabas, we don't pretend to be business 

women, and it is certain that we 

can't live comfortably on our present 

income. Something has got to be 

done." 

And then my mother leaned back in 

the chair, with a troubled face. 

" Yes," said Uncle Barnabas, " something 

has got to be done ! But who's to 

do it?" 

And another dead silence succeeded. 

" I suppose your girls are educated ?" 

said Uncle Barnabas. " I know I found 

enough old school bills when I was 

looking over my brother's papers," 

" Of course," said my mother, with 

evident pride, "their education has been 

most expensive. Music, drawing, and 

use of the globes—" 

" Yes, yes, of course," interrupted 

Uncle Barnabas. "But is it practical? 

Can they teach ? " 

Eleanor looked dubious. I was quite 

certain that I could not. Madam Le- 

noir, amid all her] list of accomplishments 

liad not included the art of practical 

tuition. 

" Humph ! " grunted Uncle Barnabas. 

" Queer-things this modern idea 

of education. Well, well, if you can't 

teach, you can surely do something! 

What do you say, Eleanor to a situation?" 

'• A situation ? " 

The color fluttered in Eleanor's 

cheeks like pink and white apple blossoms. 

" I spoke plain enough, didn't I ? " 

said Uncle Barnabas, dryly. " Yes, a 

situation !" 

" What sort of a situation, Uncle 

Barnabas ? " 

" Well, I can hardly say. Part servant, 

part companion to an elderly 

lady!-" explaimed the old gentleman. 

" Oh, Uncle Barnabas, I couldn't do 

that." 

" Not do that. And why not ? " 

" It's too much—too much ! " whispered 

Eleanor, losing her regal dignity 

in the pressure of the emergency, "like 

going out to service." 

" And that is precisely what it is! " 

retorted Uncle Barnabas, nodding his 

head. " Service! Why, we're all out 

at service in one way or another in this 

world !" 

"Oh, yes, I know," faltered; poor 

Eleanor, who, between her distaste for 

the proposed plan, and her anxiety not 

to offend Uncle Barnabas Berkelin, 

didn't quite know what to say. But I 

—I've always been educated to be a 

lady." 

"So you won't take the situation, 

eh ? " said Uncle Barnabas, staring up 

at a wishy-washy little color drawing of 

Cupid and Psyche, an " exhibition 

piece " of Poor Eleanor's, which hung 

above the chimney piece. 

"I couldn't indeed, sir." 

"Wages twenty-fiê dollars a month," 

mechanically repeated Uncle Barnabas, 

as if he were saying off a lesson." Drive 

out every day in the carriage, with the 

missus, cat and canary to take care of, 

modem house with all the improvements, 

Sunday afternoons to yourself,


and two weeks, spring and fall, to visit 

your mother." 

"No, Uncle Barnabas, no," said 

Eleanor, with a little shudder, " I am a 

true Berkelin, and I cannot stoop to 

menial duties." 

Uncle Barnabas gave such a prolonged 

sniff as to suggest the idea of a very 

bad cold in his head, indeed. 

"Sorry," said he. " Heaven helps 

those who help themselves, and you 

can't expect me to be any more liberalminded 

than Heaven. Sister Rachel," 

to my mother, " what do you say ? " 

My mother drew her pretty little figure 

up a trifle more erect than usual. 

" I think my daughter Eleanor is 

quite right," said she. " The Berkelins 

have always been ladies." 

I had sat quite silent, still with my 

chin in my hands, during all this family 

discussion ; but now I rose up and came 

creeping to Uncle Barnabas's side. 

" Well, little Susy," said the old gentleman, 

laying his hand kindly on my 

wrist," What is it?" 

" If you please, Uncle Barnabas," 

said I, with a rapidly throbbing heart, 

" I would like to take the situation." 

" Bravo !" cried Uncle Barnabas. 

" My dear child ? " exclaimed my 

mother. 

" Susannah !" uttered Eleanor, in accents 

by no means laudatory. 

" Yes," said I. " Twenty-five dollars 

a month is a great deal of money, and 

I never was afraid of work. I think I 

will go to the old lady, Uncle Barnabas. 

I'm sure I could send home at least 

twenty dollars a month to mother and 

Eleanor, and then the two weeks spring 

and fall would be so nice ! Please, Uncle 

Barnabas, I'll go back with you 

when you go. What is the old lady's 

name?" 

"Hername?" said Uncle Barnabas. 

" Didn't I tell you ? It's Prudence— 

Mrs. Prudence." 

" What a nice name," said I; I know 

I shall like her." 

"Well," I think you will," said Uncle 

Barnabas, looking kindly at me. "And 

I think she will like you. It is a bargain 

for the nine o'clock, train to-morrow 

morning?" 


" Yes," I answered stoutly, taking 

care not to look in the direction of my 

mother and Eleanor. 

"You're the most sensible of the 

lot," said Uncle, approvingly. 

But after he had gone to bed in the 

best chamber, where the ruffled pillow 

cases were, and the chintz-cushioned 

easy chair, the full strength of the 

family tongue broke on my devoted 

head. 

" I can't help it," quoth I, holding 

valiantly to my colors. " We can't 

starve. Some of us must do something. 

And you can live very nicely, 

mother, darling, on twenty dollars a 

month." 

" That is true," sighed my mother 

from behind her bordered pocket-handkerchief. 

But I never thought to see a 

daughter of mine going out to—to service 

!" 

"And Uncle Barnabas isn't going to 

do anything for us, after all ? " cried out 

Eleanor indignantly. "Stingy old fellow 

! I should think he might at least 

adopt one of us! He's as rich as 

Croesus and never a chick nor a child." 

" He may do as he likes about that," 

I answered, independently. " I prefer 

to earn my own money." 

So the next morning I set out for the 

unknown bourne of New York life. 

" Uncle Barnabas," said I, as the train 

reached the city, " how shall I find 

where Mrs. Prudence lives? " 

" O, I'll go there with you," said he. 

" Are you well acquainted with her?" 

I ventured to ask. i > 

" Oh, very well, indeed!" answered 

Uncle Barnabas, nodding his head. 

We took a hack at the depot and 

drove through so many streets that my 

head spun around and around like a tee 

totum before we stopped at a pretty 

brown stone mansion—it looked like a 

palace to my unaccustomed eyes—and 

Uncle Barnabas helped me out. 

" Here is where Miss Prudence 

lives," said he, with a chuckle. 

A neat little maid, with a frilled 

white apron and rose-colored ribbons in 

her hair, opened the door with a courtesy, 

and I was conducted into an ele-

2G 


gant apartment, all gilding, exotics and 

blue satin damask, when a plump old 

lady dressed in black silk, with the 

loveliest Valenciennes lace at her throat 

and wrists, came smilingly forward like 

a six-year old sunbeam. 

" So you've come back, Barnabas, 

have you ? " said she. "And brought 

one of the dear girls with you. Come 

and kiss me, my dear." 

"Yes, Susy, kiss your aunt," said 

Uncle Barnabas, flinging his hat one 

way and his gloves another, as he sat 

complacently down on the sofa. 

" My aunt!" I echoed. 

"Why, of course," said the plump 

old lady, Don't you know ?" I'm your 

Aunt Prudence." 

" But I thought," I gasped in bewilderment, 

" that I was coming to a situation." 

" Well, so you are," retorted Uncle 

Barnabas. "The situation of adopted 

daughter in my family. Twenty-five 

dollars a month pocket money—the 

care of Aunt Prudence, cat and canary. 

And to make yourself generally useful." 

" Oh! uncle," cried I, " Eleanor 

would have been so glad to have come 

if she had known it." 

" Fiddle strings and little fishes ! " illogically 

responded my Uncle Barnabas. 

" I've no patience with a girl 

that's too fine to work. Eleanor had 

the situation offered her, and she chose 

to decline. You decided to come, and 

here you stay ! Ring the bell, Prue, 

and order tea, for I'm as hungry as a 

hunter, and I dare say little Susy here 

would relish a cup of tea." 

And this was the way I drifted into 

my luxurious home. Eleanor, in the 

country cottage envies me bitterly, for 

she has all the tastes which wealth and 

a metropolitan home alone can gratify. 

But Uncle Barnabas will not hear of 

my exchanging with her. 

" No, no!" says he. "The girl I've 

got is the girl I mean to keep. Miss 

Eleanor is too fine a lady to suit me." 

But he lets me send them liberal presents 

every month, and so I am very 

happy. 

THE HOSPITAL REVJEW. 

Bermuda. 

We make the following extracts from an 

interesting work on Bermuda, written by 

Julia C. R. Dorr : 

" It is the custom here to plant, if one may 

use the expression, a little cedar tree in the 

frosting of the bride's cake. The diminutive 

thing is carefully removed after the cake meets 

its legitimate fate, and replanted near the 

dwelling of the wedded lovers. Fifty years or 

so ago, two little trees decorated a certain, 

bride's cake. Both were planted afterwards 

and they grew side by side for half a century. 

Not long ago the bride of that ancient wedding 

died, and one of the trees fell, too. From its 

fragrant wood her coffin was made. The other 

waits its turn." 

"Rose geraniums grew wild in great profusion, 

making the air sweet with their strong 

perfume. They are called in Bermuda the 

"grave-yard geraniums," and. I was told that 

pillows for coffined heads are filled with the 

fragrant leaves." 

" We turn into the quiet church-yard, where 

so many generations lie buried. To unaccustomed 

eyes the scene is a strange one, and the 

effect is most singular. The surface of the 

ground is almost hidden by gray, coffin-shaped 

tombs, like huge sarcophagi, solid and heavy 

as the eternal rocks of the island. As I understand 

it, the bodies are deposited—tier upon 

tier, in many cases—in excavations or tombs, 

cut in the underlying rock, and these strange 

structures are raised over them. But the impression 

one gets is that of a multitude of great 

stone coffins resting on the ground. Very few 

of them bear any inscription. For the most 

part they are simply numbered, and the record 

of names and dates is kept in a parish book." 

"Often the road passes for long distances 

between lofty walls of solid rock, from th» 

crevices of which all lovely growths are springing. 

They are red with the scarlet of the geranium, 

aglow with the orange of the lantana, 

or they are hidden by the purple veil of the 

wild convolvulus. The dainty sweet alyssum 

clings to the rook in great patches, and the 

little rice plant lays its pink cheek against it 

lovingly. The priokly-pear clasps its fibrous 

roots round some rough stone, and stretches 

out an uncouth arm to ward you off ; but, as if 

to make amends, the loveliest, daintiest ferns 

smile at you, dancing in the wind, and the 

delicate maiden's-hair waves its soft fronds 

caressingly as you go by. There and everywhere 

spring the life-plant and the blue stars 

of the Bermudiana. The orange is not now in 

!ruit, but on many of the lemon trees the yellow 

globes are hanging like golden lamps." 

" No plants seem to be indigenous there, but 

all were oonveved thither by natural or artificial 

means. When the island was discovered 

it had but one variety of tree—the cedar, or 

luniper, which is even yet more numerous, 

than all the rest combined."

Sleep They Not Well ? 

Sleep they not well, the sainted dead ? 

For sorrow they have peace instead : 

Our Father housed his children dear, 

Before the tempest gathered near, 

And burst in thunders loud and dread. 

Healed are the hearts that inly bled, 

The mourning souls are comforted, 

And stanched the fount of every tear; 

Sleep they not well ? 

And if, until the Lord appear. 

Earth, like a mother pressing near 

To watch beside the loved one's bed, 

Wraps her dark mantle round their head, 

And shelters them from pain and fear, 

Sleep they not well? 

—Canon Charles D. Bell, D. D. 

Sunday Rest. 

Rufus Choate, when at the climax of 

his reputation, said that his brain would 

long before have given way, owing to 

the intense and constant strain of professional 

work, had it not been for the 

refreshing and recreating influence of 

the fiction, poetry, history, and Greek 

and Latin classics he read. But Rufus 

Choate did die of an overworked brain, 

which shattered a nervous system that 

knew but little of the restfulness of relaxation. 

What the great orator sought for in 

books, the zealous man of business and 

the faithful man-of-all work may find in 

the periodical rest of Sunday. "Men 

who labor six days in the week and rest 

on the seventh," said Dr. Farre, in his 

testimony before a committee of the 

House of Commons," will be more 

healthy and live longer, other things 

being equal, than those who labor 

seven ; they will do more work and better 

work." 

Twenty leading physicians of England 

said, "We say ditto to Dr. Farre." 

The managers of large stables, wjiere 

several hundred horses are kept, say a 

horse must have one day's rest in seven 

or he will break down. One days rest 

in ten, or nine, or even eight days, will 

not keep him in working condition. 

Mr. A was a driving man of business, 

and nothing more. He made a fortune, 

and worked seven days a week, as 


if he was struggling to gain his first ten 

thousand dollars. 

One day, in the midst of his prosperity, 

his mental vision being dazed by 

the apprehension of some coming evil, 

he took his own life. The physician's 

judgment was, " Insanity caused by 

overwork." The friends said, " He had 

worked seven days in the week for 

years; that killed him." 

Mr. B was the President of a 

manufacturing company, the management 

of which kept him from his home 

six days. On Saturday he would return 

home, taking with him a large 

package of business papers, and passed 

Sunday in examining them. 

"Why do you labor and toil as you 

do?" said a Christian friend. "Six days 

in the week are enough for one to work 

who wishes to retain his health. You 

will kill yourself by this continuous 

strain. Besides, my dear friend, you 

are neglecting the better part of yourself, 

as well as your family, by allowing 

business to absorb your Sundays." 

"I know it," he said sadly. "But I 

must do it, or my business will get 

ahead of me. By.and-by I hope to get 

time to rest on Sundays, but I can't 

now." 

He went on working seven days in 

the week, and died, in the prime of life, 

of softening of the brain. 

"Had it not been for the weekly rest 

of the Sabbath," said a Boston merchant 

of twenty years' successful business, 

"I should have been a maniac 

long ago. It was nothing but the quiet 

of that day which rested my brain and 

saved it from giving way under the constant 

pressure." 

"I have had an extensive acquaintance 

with business men," said another 

Boston merchant, "and I cannot recall 

one who worked seven days in the week 

who did not shorten his life or go insane." 

Some men say, "Oh, the Fourth 

Commandment is an old Jewish law intended 

for an isolated farming people— 

it is not applicable to modern civilization." 

That is a mistake—it is the command



of a higher than human intelligence, 

the declaration of the physiological law 

of rest, which demands obedience one 

day in seven, under the penalty of a 

physical punishment that shall make the 

violator an imbecile.— Youth's Com 

panion. 

Capital and Labor. 

One of the pleasantest incidents recorded 

in a long time is reported from 

Sheffield, England. The wages of men 

in the iron works of Sheffield are regulated 

by a board of arbitration, by whose 

decisions both masters and men are 

bound. 

For some time past the iron and steel 

trade has been extremely unprofitable, 

and the employers cannot, without large 

loss, pay thfe wages fixed by the board, 

which neither employers nor employed 

have the power to change. To avoid 

this difficulty the workmen in one of 

the largest steel works in Sheffield hit 

upon a device as rare as it was generous. 

They offered to work for their employers 

one week without any pay 

whatever. How much better that plan 

is than a strike would be! Five years 

ago there was a strike at these very 

works, and some personal violence resulted 

in its progress, 

A strike means idleness and disorder 

among the workmen, who earn, nothing; 

and when the strike ends the employed 

are poorer, the employers are 

not better able than they were to pay 

high wages, and each party is irritated 

against the other. 

In this case the workmen earned 

nothing during the week, to be sure, 

and in that respect were not better off 

than they would be if on a strike. But 

they were at work, and avoided the 

dangers which usually accompany idleness. 

Moreover, they were helping instead 

of impoverishing their employers, 

and were thus making it easier for those 

employers to give them full work and 

full wages; hereafter. 

It is in. its revelation of cordial rela. 

tions between master and man, however, 

that this incident is most gratify 

ing. It is a recognition of the fact that 

their interests are one. 

When business revives the employers 

will probably pay their workmen double 

wages for a week, and the advantage of 

mutual good feeling will prove how 

much superior is this method of bringing 

capital and labor to terms, to the 

ordinary method. 

Two Blue Bottle Flies. 

Sometimes even a very slight knowledge 

of natural history is of great practical 

use. As an illustration, we give a 

fact recently told by a naturalist. 

A gentleman, making a call at the 

house of a friend, was astonished to find 

the rooms and passages in confusion; 

and, on inquiring the cause, was answered 

: 

" Oh. we are very much annoyed 

here ; a rat has come to finish his existence 

under the floor of our large 

drawing-room. We do not know the 

exact place, but we cannot endure the 

stench any longer, so we have removed 

the furniture, rolled up the carpets, and 

called in the carpenters, who are just 

beginning to take up the floor." 

" Now don't be too hasty," said the 

visitor; "you need not pull up more 

than one board. I will show you what 

I mean presently; and meanwhile, shut 

down the drawing-room windows, and 

close the door." 

He then stepped down into the garden, 

walked round to the horse stables, and 

after a few minutes' absence came back 

to the drawing-room with both hands 

tightly clasped. Placing himself in the 

center of the drawing-room, he opened 

his hands, and out flew two large blue 

bottle flies, and buzzed around the room 

for a second or two. But presently one 

of them alighted on a certain plank of 

the floor, and was almost immediately 

followed by the other. 

" Now, then," said the visitor, " take 

up that board, and I'll engage that the 

dead rat will be found beneath it." 

The carpenters applied their tools, 

raised the board, and at once found the 

cause of the unpleasant smell.


An Exchange. 

A correspondent in an exchange tells 

a pleasant story of Gen. Oliver, author 

of the well-known hymn-tune " Federal 

Street." Gen. Oliver, who lives in Salem, 

and a clerical neighbor, had each 

ordered from the same Salem tailor a 

pair of pantaloons from the same piece 

of cloth, to be delivered on the Saturday 

evening next following. The two 

gentlemen were not then acquaintances. 

Saturday evening came, and two bundles, 

the outside marking upon which 

was not then noticed, were delivered at 

their respective homes. 

On Sunday morning each, rising, essayed 

to wear his new garment. Each 

was a misfit. Gen. Oliver then looked 

at the wrapper, and, seeing another 

name than his own at once surmised 

the cause of the trouble. He donned 

his ordinary dress and proceeded to his 

clerical neighbor's residence. Ringing 

the bell, he inquired for the Rev. Dr. 

Mills, who presently appeared. After 

an exchange of stately courtesies (no 

names being given), Gen. Oliver said: 

" I called, reverend sir, to inquire if 

you were disposed for an exchange." 

" For an exchange ?" asked the doctor, 

" and with whom and when ?" 

M With me, and to-day." 

" With you ? and to-day !" 

Gen. Oliver, though one of the " sons 

of the clergy," was not very clerical in 

appearance. 

" My dear sir," said the clergyman, 

" it will not be possible. It is already 

nearly time for the ringing of the second 

bells. I have a special sermon and have 

sent the day's hymns to my organist, 

and I cannot possibly do it." 

" Well, my friend," said the general, 

" I am very sorry, as it would be a convenience 

to each of us, for you have 

got my breeches and I have yours!" 

"Aha! aha! Oh yes, yes, yes! I 

see! I see ! Exchange ? Yes, with all 

my heart, for I have been losing my 

legs for an hour in a pair of meal-bags, 

'a world too wide for my shrunk 

shanks.' Mrs. Mills, bring down those 


big trousers ; the riddle s solved ; the 

tailor's boy blundered." 

Gen. Oliver asked the pastor whether 

this operation in breeches was a breech 

of the Sabbath, and the pastor gave 

it up. 

»«» 

WHILE Judge Tracy was on the circuit, 

going from court his trace broke. 

The judge spent over a half-hour trying 

to mend it, but to no purpose. His 

patience was exhausted, and he expressed 

his vexation in words. A negro 

came along, and the judge told him of 

his trouble. The negro let out the 

trace, cut a hole in it, and the job was 

done. 

" Why," said the judge, " could I not 

have thought of that ?" 

" Well, marster," said the negro,

One of the most popular ladies in 

Chicago was on a crowded horse-car on 

one occasion when a poor old colored 

woman got on with a child, but none of 

the men stirred. 

After waiting a minute, the lady got 

up and gave her seat to the woman. 

At once all the men got up and offered 

their seats ; but she said, " No, gentlemen, 

it is too late now," and she remained 

standing. ••• 

The Superintendent of the Elmira 

Reformatory says that drunkenness 

can be traced in the ancestry of more

the home influence in half 

the cases has been distinctly vicious.



ROCHESTER, N. Y.. SEPTEMBER 15. 1885. 


On the last Saturday of August we visited 

the Hospital and found fifteen patients receiving 

treatment in the Male Surgical 

Ward. One man was confined to his bed 

with a burnt leg, but it was healing and he 

was doing well. No death had occurred 

during the month, and no patient was very 

sick. Since then a boy who was injured 

by being run over by an engine, at Fairport, 

has died. Three of our boys are still in 

this ward. Mr. L., the carpenter, who injured 

his back by falling from a ladder, had 

improved and returned home. The man 

with a fractured hip was better, and had 

left. F. P., who fell in a cellar and cut his 

head, had been confined to the bed, but was 

improving, up and dressed. Mr. H., a conductor 

on the Central road, who had been 

injured by the cars so that amputation 

above the knee had been necessary, was doing 

well but had been removed to the Mansard. 

The Male Medical Ward had twenty inmates. 

The sickest patient was Mr. C, an 

aged man, an old resident of Rochester, 

who felt that his end was near, and he has 

since died. He seemed greatly soothed by 

the tender care of his nurse, who gently 

ministered to him. Five other patients* 

were in their cots ; some with rheumatism 

and others were consumptives. One man, 

•who had been a great sufferer from rheumatism, 

was so much improved that he had 

left the bed to whjch for some time he had 

been confined. The exzema patient gains 

very slowly ; sometimes he improves and 

then seems to lose what he has gained. 

There were twenty under treatment in 

the Female Medical Ward. One had just 

died with an ovarian tumor. The woman 

who for a long while has been slowly con- 


valescing from pneumonia is now so well 

she will soon leave the Hospital. One patient 

was under Dr. Rider's care, having 

some disease of the eye ; another was a consumptive 

; a third had a diseased stomach. 

Four patients were confined to their cots. 

A new patient had just been received. 

The inmates of the Female Surgical Ward 

numbered twenty-one. Four of these were 

confined to their cots ; one of these was a 

consumptive, another had sore thrpat and 

was feverish, the third was Katy, the girl 

with the burnt limb, and the fourth was 

Tilly, who had had a surgical operation 

and was rapidly improving. Several children—of 

whom we speak elsewhere—were in 

this Ward. In the lower cross ward were 

two very sick patients, the one a paralytic 

and the other a sufferer from consumption. 

In the Lying-in Ward were three babies, 

three mothers, and three waiting patients. 

One of the Pavilions was occupied by a 

man recovering from erysipelas. 


We have them of all ages at the City 

Hospital. The youngest, with the exception 

of the three babies born within it, is a 

little colored girl about two years old. Her 

name is Sarah, and she comes from the Orphan 

Asylum. She has a curvature of the 

spine, is confined to her bed, and is to wear 

a plaster of Paris jacket. Lawrence Barnes, 

the boy with a broken knee, is improving, 

and so is Terrance Martin, whose ankle was 

injured by a boy who was coasting down 

hill; Terrance goes about on crutches. 

Tommy Jones, who fell from a tree and 

broke his arm, has gone home, and so has 

Gust Grunst, whose limb was amputated 

below the knee. Max, the German boy, 

whose limbs were paralyzed, walks now 

with the use of his crutches ; Freddy Lyons 

is improving, and Tommy Heeney changes 

but little. Lorenz Fisher, fourteen years 

old, has rheumatism in the knees and does 

not leave his bed. Sidney Greenslave, the


boy with a stiff neck, is improving. George 

Van Ingen, twelve years old, the boy who 

fell from Vincent Street bridge, the physicians 

think will live. It seems almost impossible 

that he could survive such a fall. 

George Estleman, a boy thirteen years old, 

who was run over by an engine atTairport, 

on the 2d of September, was brought to the 

Hospital so badly injured that it was necessary 

to amputate his leg and arm, and he 

died on the 3d of September. George was 

standing on the rear platform of the caboose 

of a freight train, and was thrown off by a 

sudden jar of the car. The wheels of the 

*' pusher" engine passed over him and 

mangled his left arm and leg and injured 

his spine. He was brought to the Hospital 

on the Day Express train, but the poor boy 

was too badly injured to survive. Rosa, 

the little German girl with abscesses near 

the knee, is very much better. She says 

the physicians hope she will get well. Katy 

H., with the burnt leg, is also much better 

than she was a month ago ; the grafting of 

healthy flesh in the sore made by the burn 

has been very successful, and she hopes 

soon to be about again. Tilly, who has 

been afflicted with sore limbs for two years, 

and who had-some of the diseased flesh cut 

out, is much better' than she has been. 

Minnie Bryant, whose heart is diseased, is 

quite feeble, and reclines on her cot much 

of the time. 

We know the little folks who are helping 

us build the Children's Pavilion, are interested 

in all their young friends who are sick 

at the hospital, and so we make a monthly 

report of their cases, and are glad to have 

monthly receipts of bricks or donations for 

the new Children's Pavilion.

of the corner-stone of the new Children's 

Pavilion, the name of Mrs. M. M. Mathews

The Children's Pavilion. 

The new Children's Pavilion is enclosed, 

and already presents an attractive appearance. 

We would remind our friends that 

five thousand dollars more are needed to 

pay for its erection. We have faith that 

friends will aid us in defraying the cost of 

this much needed building. 

More Bricks for the Pavilion. 

We are indebted to the little folks on the 

bluff at West Beach, Charlotte, for more 

bricks for the Pavilion. A large package 

of twelve bricks comes from our young 

friend Mary Warner Knapp, and four are 

from three little "sunbeams," James Cyrus 

Dryer, Leora Marie Dryer and Rufus Joseph 

Dryer, who, as their mother says, " are 

radiant with thoughts of love and sympathy 

for the little suffering children." Four 

more come to us "in memory of little 

Richard of Annandale." Who will send 

us the largest package of bricks next 

month ?



In Memorianau 

Our hearts to-day go out in tender sympathy 

to a bereaved family, whose home 

has been suddenly darkened by the departure 

of a beloved daughter, whose early 

womanhood gave rich promise of a bright 

future, but " her sun has gone down while it 

was yet day." 

About twenty of the Hare family had 

been spending a delightful summer at 

Huntingdon Valley, near Philadelphia,when 

Ida Hobart, daughter of Charles Willing 

and Mary W. Hare, who for several years 

resided in this city, was attacked with peritonitis 

and died after an illness of nine days. 

During her residence in Rochester Miss 

Hare was a frequent visitor at the City 

Hospital, and her sunny presence was welcomed 

in our wards, and the memory of 

her loving ministries will long linger in the 

hearts of our inmates. She identified herself 

with many of the interests of the Hospital, 

took an active part in our Donation 

Festivals, was an efficient member of St. 

Luke's Flower Mission. She brought cards, 

flowers, books, fruit, bright smiles and 

cheering words to.the Hospital patients, and 

if out of the city at Christmas or Easter was 

sure to send some token of her remembrance. 

On our last visit to the Hospital it 

was touching to hear one, who for years had 

been unable to walk and was confined, to 

her rolling chair, speak of the kind acts of 

the departed, who was wont, aided by a 

friend, to take the patient out for an airing, 

rolling her chair, and thus breaking in upon 

the monotony of her life by giving her a 

long ride and a view of other parts of the 

city. Less than a year ago Miss Hare left 

Rochester, but, during her residence here, 

her earnest, consistent Christian life and her 

genial presence won for her many friends, 

who will fondly cherish her memory. 

Little Deetta Hart Mitchell has begun 

early to remember the Hospital children. 

She sent them a doll's hat the other day.

A Bamboo Bedstead. 

While we were absent last summer, a 

beautiful little white bamboo bedstead was 

sent to the Hospital by Lulu Belle McAJlaster. 

It had a canopy top, was trimmed 

with dotted muslin and lace, over blue, and 

was a very dainty bedstead. Lulu and her 

little brother had slept in it through their 

babyhood, and as they had outgrown it, it 

was sent to the Hospital to be used by the 

sick children. It had a nice mattress, a 

pillow, sheets and pillow cases, and a silk 

comfortable that Lulu had spent two years 

in making. The mother suggested that one 

of the little girl's dolls should be put in the 

bedstead, but Lulu replied : " Do you think 

you would want to give away one of your 

children?" When we have the Pavilion 

completed we shall find a nice place for 

Lulu's pretty bamboo bedstead, and the 

comfortable so neatly made by the little 

donor. 

• 

There is great need of old bed-quilts or 

bed tidies in the Hospital. We need a 

large number of these. They should be 

quilted so that they can be washed.

On the Death of an Infant Daughter. 

BY DUDLEY PHELPS. 

The sweetest voice is hushed, 

The loveliest smile is gone; 

The foot of Death has crushed 

My child—my dearest one, 

Was there no other place to tread, 

That he must trample on thy head ? 

That foot is on my heart, 

With all its fatal weight; 

It mangles every part, 

And lays me desolate ; 

The pain of more than death is mine, 

The lighter pang, dear child, was thine. 

How drear the household hearth ! 

How dark is every room ! 

There is no light on earth, 

To dissipate the gloom. 

Before we prized them, joys are fled— 

Tears for the living—not the dead. 

Away beyond the tomb, 

Sweet spirit, thou art flown, 

Where loveliness can bloom, 

And blighting is unknown ; 

My faith would trace thine upward way, 

And catch of Heaven some cheering ray. 

One short and happy year 

Thou smiledst, on us below; 

We hoped to keep thee here 

Till we were called to go ; 

But God takes back the blessing lent, 

Though we our weaker claims present. 

To tbee it was not given 

To speak with mortal tongue : 

The dialect of Heaven 

Already hast thou sung. 

Too hard our speech—too slow our ways ; 

Angels must teach thee words of praise. 

What we cannot discern, 

Thine eyes can plainly see ; 

How much have we to learn, 

If we would equal thee ! 

Thine infant spirit near the throne. 

Excels all mind that earth hath known. 

Our selfish hearts had bound thee, 

To hold thee back from bliss : 

Now glory beams around thee 

In brighter worlds than this. 

Farewell till guardian angels come 

To bear us to thy happy home. 

Hundreds of stars in the pretty evening sky, 

Hundreds of shells on the shore together; 

Hundreds of birds that go singing by, 

Hundreds of bees in the sunny weather ; 

Hundreds of dew-drops to greet the dawn, 

Hundreds of lambs in the purple clover \ 

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn, 

But only one mother the wide world over. 

On Saturday, August 29th, the "'Autocrat," 

whom all delight to honor, 

passed his seventy-sixth birthday. The 

dinner, at Beverly Farms, with only 

three guests, was a quiet, informal affair, 

but after it the neighbors and the 

neighbors' children called to congratulate 

the doctor, and wish him ' • many 

happy returns of the day." At length, 

with such a show of letters and telegrams 

and flowers pouring upon him, 

he said " This is more than my last 

birthday." A raised-letter volume of 

his poems was presented him from 

" The Perkins Asylum for the Blind," 

and tender messages came to him from 

all quarters, none more touching than 

that of the venerable Quaker poet and 

friend. This is the eheery little note 

which Mr. Whittier sent to Oliver 

Wendall Holmes: 

My Dear Holmes: Amidst the 

thanks and congratulations of thy 

birthday, I hope the kindly remembrance 

of thy old friend will not be unwelcome. 

My father used to tell of a 

poor innocent in his neighborhood, 

who, whenever he met him would fall 

to laughing, crying and dancing. "I 

can't help it, sir. I can't help it. I'm 

so glad you and I are alive ! " And I, 

like the poor fellow, can't help telling 

thee that I am glad thee and I are alive 

—glad that thy hand has 4ost nothing 

of its cunning, and thy pen is still busy. 

And I say in the words of Solomon of 

old : " Rejoice, O young man in thy 

youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in 

the days of thy youth;" but don't 

exult over thy seniors who have not 

found the elixir of life and are growing 

old and " past their usefluness." I have 

just got back from the hill and am tired, 

and a pile of unanswered letters are befor 

me this morning, so I can only say, 

God bless thee. 

If our religion is not true, we are 

bound to change it; if it is true, we are 

bound to propagate it.—Archbishop 

Whately. 

" 'Tis better to have loved and lost, 

Than never to have loved at all I"



A child who has just mastered her 

Catechism confessed herself dissappointed, 

because, she said, " Though I 

obey the Fifth Commandment, and

I am still put to bed at seven 

o'clock."

"I shall be satisfied," but O not here! 

Not here, where all the dreams of bliss deceive 

us, 

Where the worn spirit never gains the goal; 

Where, haunted ever by the thought that 

grieves us, 

Across us floods of bitter memory roll. 

There is a land where every pulse is thrilling 

With rapture earth's sojourners may not 

know, 

Where heaven's repose the weary heart is stilling, 

And peacefully life's time-tossed currents 

flow, 

Far out of sight, while yet the flesh enfolds us, 

lies the fair country where our hearts abide, 

And of its bliss is naught more wondrous told 

us, 

Than these few words, "I shall be satisfied." 

Satisfied! Satisfied ! The spirit's yearning 

For sweet companionship with kindred 

minds, 

The silent love that here needs no returning, 

The inspiration which no language finds, 

Shall they be satisfied ? The soul's vain longing, 

The aching void which nothing earthly fills ? 

Oh! what desires upon my soul are thronging, 

As I look upward to the heavenly hills 

Whither my weak and weary steps are tending; 

Saviour and Lord! with thy frail child abide! 

Guide me towards home, where, all my wandering 

ending, 

I shall see Thee, and "shall be satisfied."

to watch ; in the family, our tempers ; in 

company, our tongues.—Hannah More.

constant repair.—Johnson.


Correspondence., 

For the Hospital REVIEW. 

We are permitted to make the following 

extracts from a private letter written from 

one of the Philippine islands, and dated 

Cebu, March 3, 1885: 

Last Saturday, at five o'clock in the 

afternoon, we jumped into our little American 

phaeton, T. taking charge of our large 

pith sun hats and our bag of clothes, and 

I the reins, to manage Tony's fiery little 

pair of grays, and off we started for Naga. 

The ponies were frisky and T. was busy in 

the vain endeavor to light his cigar without 

letting the hats fall out. By the time T. 

had got to the end of his box of matches 

the ponies were quiet enough to allow me 

to hold the hats with one hand and drive 

with the other, and after T. had lighted his 

cigar we settled down to admire the scenery. 

One moment we were on a high hill looking 

over varied colored fields of waving sugar 

cane and maize, divided by dark foliaged 

hedges, with here and there a nipa house 

peeping out from some shady corner, and 

the accompanying shed under which the 

patient buffalo paced its weary rounds at 

the end of a sugar mill bar ; the next moment 

we were down in a hollow passing 

through shady groves of cocoa palms, then 

up the barren looking incline of Pardo, 

with its fine unfinished church at the top, 

which edifice has been crawling up for the 

last four years, and will probably be finished 

in the next decade ; an adieu waved to the 

priest at his convent window, and then we 

rattle down the incline to find ourselves 

again in fertile land; two minutes difficulty 

with the ponies, a narrow escape from an 

upset, and we are over Talisay ford ; then 

we pass along a smooth road, through a 

cut, over stone and wooden bridges, through 

the village of Minglanilla, down an incline, 

up a hill, fording rivers, through a covered 

bridge, then again along a smooth road, and 

at last we stop in front of Mr. Mejia's 

house, where servants relieve us of our 


baggage ^nd: pontes,rand wfe find ourselves 

htearfcily Welcomed* bf the ^biadk. 1 intelligent 

gentleman. 

With a wash to remove the dust from the 

outer man, and sherry and bitters to comfort 

the inner one, we were cfuite, ready to 

play with the children, and chat with Don 

Pablo. We were hungry, the dinner was 

fine, and our walk afterwards through the 

village and our visit to the little "governor 

made us enjoy our sleep. 

We were up at six the next morning, had 

a fine sea bath, after which we took a heavy 

desayuno and prepared for an excursion to 

Don Pablo's estate over the mountain. At 

nine o'clock we were mounted on a two 

wheel cart, the driver sitting in front, T. 

behind, with his limbs dangling down, and 

I in the middle to balance and guard the 

two bottles of beer and a corkscrew. We 

took no other refreshments, expecting to be 

back in two hours for breakfast, as Don 

Pablo told us that "right behind the house, 

on his estate, was a cascade where we could 

bathe, and it would only take a short time 

to see the other points of interest. A 

broken bridge forced us to leave the cart 

and walk to the house, and then we commenced 

to search for the cascade, but the 

coachman did not know where it was. We 

followed the stream up for half a mile without 

seeing it, and then to escape from rain 

took refuge in a nipa house and were regaled 

with boiled eggs and plantains. The 

inmates of the house told us the cascade 

was a long distance off, up through the 

mountains. We did not believe them, as 

Don Pablo had told us it was close to his 

estate, so the rain over, we took a beautiful 

road leading us through fine shady jungles, 

over verdant hills, through clear limpid 

streams, which we crossed sometimes on 

the coachman's shoulders and sometimes 

hopping* from stone to stone, occasionally 

wetting our feet in a slip ; then, on, along 

the overhanging bank of a stream with the 

mountains rising sheer up on each side. 

After walking for two hours we were told the


cascade was half a mile farther on, up the 

side of the mountain. On we went. The 

road now diverged to the right and led us 

straight up the mountain, then turning to 

the left took us along the side through a 

jungle, and very soon our ears were gladdened 

by the roar of falling water. Peering 

through the jungle we saw a sight that well 

repaid us for our long walk. Starting out 

from some invisible spring, in a break in 

the mountain, came a narrow, silver stream 

of water, rushing with tremendous force 

down the marble white rock steps, forming 

in the basins at the foot of each a foaming 

whirlpool, then surging out in a new direction 

to the step below, and so on down to 

the large, clear basin far down in the ravine 

below, from which it spurted through interstices 

in the rocks, making for a quarter of 

a mile a series of small rapids before forming 

into the quiet flowing stream we had 

crossed so many times in our walk. 

After gazing in silent admiration for 

some time, we looked around for some way 

of getting down the steep mountain side 

and found a path by which we were able to 

descend to the stream below the rapids. 

Thence we despatched the coachman to 

buy a chicken and sweet potatoes. Then 

we waded up the stream, took a draught of 

the fine, cool water, and a bath,washed our 

white clothes and put them on a rock to 

dry while we amused ourselves in the water. 

What fun it was diving down 

leaving our large pith hats floating on 

the water, then coming up again, with good 

aim,stickingour heads into them. T. would 

then shout out in a commanding drill sergeant's 

tone : "Change hats !" and down 

we would go, coming up each in the other's 

hat. When our clothes were dry we 

climbed up the side of the cascade and 

found that what we supposed was the head 

of the stream was a sharp turn which it 

took from a deep cut, which cut was almost 

totally covered by a natural bridge of rock. 

Following up the cut we found the stream 


came out of the myriads of small cuts and 

crevices in the rock which rose up like a 

wall barring our further progress. 

It was then half-past one, and commencing 

our homeward journey we were soon 

back on the road, and revived by the sight 

of our coachman sallying forth from a hut 

with a chicken on a spit in one hand and a 

plateful of sweet potatoes in the other. 

We cut the chicken in two, each taking a 

half in our fingers, and, filling our pockets 

with sweet potatoes we continued our way 

eating as we walked. When we had finished 

the chicken and all the potatoes, we 

sent the coachman up a tree for cocoanuts, 

which he opened with his knife, and we 

took a long, refreshing drink of the milk. 

We used the stream as a finger bowl and 

went on our way. At four o'clock we arrived 

at Naga, where Don Pablo was anxiously 

awaiting us. On explaining the cause 

of our delay he told us we should have 

gone down stream instead of up, and that 

the cascade we had visited was half way 

across the island, which is there about fifteen 

miles broad. 

After dinner we took a drive in the 

village, seeing the usual motley crowd of 

Indians, some with clean, white shirts— 

these were the dudes—others with flashy 

red ones, and a great many dressed in holes, 

badly united with dirty cloth.

An Artistic Rural Wedding. 

Weathersfield Bow, a hospitable hamlet, 

nestling in a lovely valley, under the shadow 

of Mt. Ascutney, on the west bank of the 

Connecticut, in the Green Mountain State, 

was on the eighth of September last the 

scene of a brilliant wedding. 

The natural scenery in this region is 

very beautiful, and the ride from Ashley's 

ferry to Elmsholme, about a mile long, 

through the Jarvis estate, over which the 

wedding guests passed, as seen by daylight is 

wild and romantic. The south side of the



road is bordered by old stump fences, over 

which the wild clematis throws a silvery 

veil of silken seeds, pierced by the graceful 

plumes of the golden rod and the purple 

aster. On the north side the tops of 

sumacs wave their scarlet, gold, and bronze 

pennons, contrasting richly with the sombre 

white pines. Below is the fertile meadow, 

and beyond, the river and the mountain. 

The present occupant of Elmsholme is a 

brother of the late William Hunt, the great 

American artist, and the whole arrangements 

of the wedding were so artistic and 

beautiful that we copy the following extracts 

from a description given by the 

Granite State Journal and other papers : 

The contracting parties were Francis Brown 

Hayes, son of the late Francis B. Hayes of 

Boston, and Nino Katherine, youngest daughter 

of Col. Leayitt Hunt of Weathersfield Bow. 

Miss Nino is a granddaughter of the late Hon. 

William Jarvis, wh6 was appointed consul and 

charge riCaffairs to Portugal by President Jefferson 

about 1808, where he remained during 

Mr. Madison's administration. He was 

known throughout New England, after his return 

to this country in 1818, as "Consul 

Jarvis." The night was dark as jet, rendering 

all the more beautiful the hundreds of 

Japanese lanterns that lined the street from 

the residence to the little church a short distance 

to the south. The lawn opposite the 

church was also illumined with gaily colored 

lanterns, as well as the various residences 

in the near vicinity. A huge bonfire was 

started on the spacious grounds opposite the 

church entrance, and kept aglow during the 

ceremony, and rockets and Roman candles enlivened 

the scene. The friends of the bridegroom 

drove over from Claremont. N. H., in 

close carriages, crossing the Ashley ferry, 

which was lighted up on both sides of the river. 

The decorations at the church were under 

the supervision of Mr. Clyde du Vernet Hunt 

and were most elaborate and very tastily 

arranged, every nook and corner being completely 

enveloped in living green. Much of the 

festooning was of evergreen, consisting of running 

pine and ferns heavily entwined, and extending 

from the center of the ceiling to the 

top of the windows where it was met with a 

heavy fringe of ferns finishing with a row of 

cat-tails extending from the wainscoting 

around the entire church. The windows were 

completely filled with great fir trees and 

with masses of ferns and wild flowers. In 

each corner of the church were trees tall enough 

to reach the ceiling. Suspended over the altar 

was a large picture, in Gobelin tapestry, twenty 

feet long, representing the meeting of Jacob 

and Rachel at the well. The altar was one 

dense bank of asters, roses and ferns, the col- 

ors were most beautifully blended, while the 

chancel railing was entirely bidden with 

smilax and white lilies, and on both ends 

rested the emblematic white doves. Between 

the doors was very neatly and artistically arranged 

the monogram of the two H's—Hunt 

and Hayes. The entrance and vestibule also 

evinced the same good taste, and the whole 

presented a most charming bower. 

Hundreds of candles were ranged in front of 

the pulpit and close together around the walls 

of the church, while scores of Chinese 

lanterns served to heighten the dazzling effect, 

as they swung from great strings of evergreens 

that reached aloft from wall to wall. 

Immediately after the ceremony followed 

the reception at Elmsholme. The large parlors 

were soon filled with a very select company of 

friends to present their congratulations and 

good wishes to the happy couple who stood beneath 

a unique design of roses which formed 

the links of a chain and above which were 

perched two doves. The home of Col. Hunt is 

filled with a rare collection of art, exhibiting 

the taste of a connisseur in the selection and 

arrangement of the paintings and bric-a-brac. 

Many of the paintings were by the late Wm. 

Hunt, while others, with other works of art, 

were secured by Consul Jarvis in his foreign 

travels. The whole house seemed like a vast 

conservatory, being so completely filled with 

roses and rare exotics. 

For His Sake. 

"The only son of his mother, and 

she a widow." In these words we find 

the explanation of the look of grief on 

Mrs. Terry's face, and the quick gathering 

tears that she resolutely brushed 

away that they might not dim her 

vision of the brave young soldier in his 

new gray uniform, who occasionally 

turned, in his saddle to wave her a farewell. 

On the brow of the hill he 

stopped and took a long look at the 

home of his childhood. His gaze wandered 

from the great house, with its 

wide verandas covered with climbing 

roses all in bloom, over the fields, the 

woods, and the meadows, with the little 

brook and the whitewashed negro 

quarters, all deserted now; then his 

glance returned to the solitary figure at 

tjie gate, waving a white signal. "Dear, 

dear mother," he murmured, as he 

waved his handkerchief in reply, then 

quickly drawing it across his eyes, he 

gave a low whistle to his horse and was 

soon gone out of her sight. 

Gone into the untried world of war, 

with a boy's bright dreams of honor



and advancement, and with a heart full 

of the mistaken, blinded patriotism 

that placed the State above the country. 

And she was left to her desolate 

home. One after another the monotonous 

days passed, filled with anxious 

foreboding and pleading prayers for his 

safety. Occasionally a letter reached 

her from the camp, full of hopeful 

words and loving messages, and when 

she received one saying his regiment 

would pass within a few miles of their 

home, and that he hoped to see her, 

she watched the days go by with feverish 

impatience. 

Then there came rumors of the approach 

of a Union force and one morning 

the quiet air of the little valley 

shuddered with the fierce sounds of 

battle. O it was hard to bear! The 

thought that her boy was in danger so 

near her and she powerless to protect 

him. Hour after hour the heavy reports 

resounded until the twilight 

brought quiet. 

Early the next morning a neighbor 

brought the news that the Union forces 

had been repulsed, and that the courthouse 

at I had been turned into 

a temporary hospital, and that he had 

seen her son there badly wounded. 

It was twelve miles to the I 

court-house, and the time necessary to 

traverse that distance seemed endless 

to the anxious mother's heart. To her 

unaccustomed eyes the sight that met 

her as she entered the large court-room 

seemed appalling. There was a smell 

of chloriform in the air, and deep 

groans pained her ear. Up and down 

the rows of cots she passed until she 

came to the one where lay the young 

lad she had last seen on that bright 

Spring morning waving a gay farewell.. 

But what a change. There was a dead-' 

ly pallor on the once rosy cheeks, and 

the brown hair that fell in wild disorder 

over the forehead was matted with 

blood, while his right arm lay limp and 

shattered at his side. Her kisses and 

the warm tears falling on his face 

aroused him, and at the sight of his 

mother's face all his pain was forgotten 

for the time. 

Soon the doctor joined them and 

cheered Mrs. Terry with the assurance 

that Charles' wounds were not dangerous, 

and that although he was very 

weak from loss of blood, he would 

probably be able to be taken home in a 

week or two. "He will need most 

nourishing food, and that is very hard 

to procure, but I will do my best for 

him," and so saying the cheery doctor 

passed on. 

As Mrs. Terry rode home in the twilight 

she turned over and over in her 

mind plans for obtaining some beef 

from which to make beef tea. It was 

near the close of the war and , everything 

was fabulously high. She and 

Uncle Tony and Aunt Luda, the only 

negroes who had not left her, managed 

to get their living mostly from the garden. 

Charles had sent her most of his 

wages, but they were of course Confederate 

money and so could buy but little; 

at that time she had no money at 

all, but she concluded to try and sell 

some articles of silverware. The next 

day she did so, though she was obliged 

to sell them for much less than their 

value. She then purchased the beef 

and made the tea, which on the following 

day she carried to the hospital, 

where she, was well repaid for her sacrifice 

by Charlie's enjoyment of the 

nourishing draught. As she held the 

bowl to his lips, the eyes of the soldier 

in the next cot were fastened on them, 

with an eager, famishing look. Mrs. 

Terry noticed it, and noticed also that 

he wore a blue uniform. "Perhaps he 

is the very one who shot my boy," she 

thought, and her heart grew hard and 

bitter toward him. 

But Mrs. Terry was more than a 

mother—she was a Christian ; and the 

unconscious, silent pleading of those 

wistful eyes brought to her mind the 

words "Sick and in prison, and ye visited 

me not; inasmuch as ye did it not 

to one of the least of these, ye did it 

not to Me." There was a sharp, brief 

struggle in her mind. Then as Charlie 

lay back on the downy pillows she had 

brought him, she refilled the bowl with 

the dearly purchased beverage, and


pressed it to the stranger's lips, while 

unconsciously she repeated the words, 

"For His sake, for His sake." His 

feeble, earnest words of thanks we're 

not more expressive than the look of 

satisfaction on his pale face. 

When Mrs. Terry came the next time 

she noticed that the blue coat's cot was 

empty, and learned that he had been 

exchanged. 

In the years of toil and privation 

that followed the war, this little incident 

was soon forgotten by Mrs. Terry. 

Charles had just finished preparing for 

college when he entered the army, and 

after he had recovered from his wounds 

he was anxious to resume his studies. 

His mother made great sacrifices, and 

sent him through college, and then to 

a school where he fitted himself for a 

civil engineer. Soon after his graduation, 

there was a place to be filled in 

some Government survey, and Charles 

applied for the position to the Congressman 

who had the matter in charge. 

' It would be such a fine thing if I 

could only get the place,' he said after 

telling his mother of it, 'but I have very 

little hope of doing so, for though I 

know I am well qualified, I have no acquaintance 

with the Congressman, and 

some favorite of his will probably be 

the successful one. 

A few days after, Charles entered the 

house exclaiming Here's a letter from 

Washington, but it's directed to you, 

mother, instead of me. Have you been 

applying for a government position ?' 

When Mrs. Terry opened the letter, she 

found Charles's commission enclosed in 

the following note: 

Dear Madam : I ana glad to be able to give 

your son this appointment; for I have often 

wished for an opportunity to express my gratitude 

to the gentle Southern lady who ' for His 

sake' gave a wounded Northern soldier a ' cup 

of cold water'—or more literally, of beef-tea— 

that she had prepared for her own son. That 

Northern soldier is as ever, your friend, 

There were tears in Mrs. Terry's eyes 

as she handed the letter to Charles, and 

she slowly repeated : 

' Bread upon the waters cast, 

Shall be gathered home at last. 1 


MATNARD. 

Farragut's Conversion. 

When a bby once learns that there is 

nothing manly,in imitating the vices of 

men, he has made a long stride in wisdom. 

Moreover, he may count himself 

among the fortunate, if he learns 

it so early in life that the pursuit of 

foolish and wicked pleasures does not 

practically injure his future career. 

Admiral Farragut tells this story of 

his own boyhood ;. 

"When I was ten years old," he says, 

"I was with my father on aboard a 

man-of-war. I had some qualities that, 

I thought, made a man of me. J could 

swear like an old salt, could drink as 

stiff a glass of grog as if I had doubled 

Cape Horn, and could smoke, like 

a locomotive. I was great at cards, 

and fond of gaming in every shape. At 

the close of dinner, one day, my father 

turned everybody out of the cabin, 

locked the door, and said to me — 

" 'David, what do you mean to be ?' " 

" ' I mean to follow the sea. 1 " 

" ' Follow the sea ! Yes, to be a poor, 

miserable, drunken sailor before the 

mast; be kicked and cuffed about the 

world, and die in some fever hospital in 

a foreign land. 

" No, David; no boy ever trod the 

quarter-deck with such principles as 

you have, and such habits as you exhibit. 

You'll have to change your 

whole course of life if you ever become 

a man.' " 

" My father left me and went on 

deck. I was stunned by the rebuke, 

and overwhelmed with mortification. 

" A poor, miserable, drunken sailor 

before the mast! Be kicked and cuffed 

about the world, and die in some fever 

hospital! That is to be my fate," 

thought I. " I'll change my life, and 

change it at once. I will never utter 

another oath; I will never drink another 

drop of intoxicating liquor ; I 

will never gamble. I have kept these 

three vows ever since. Shortly after I 

had made them I became a Christian. 

That act was the turning-point in my 

destiny."—Youth's Companion.


Dr. Prime. 

To hundreds arid thousands of homes 

in our ovrti and in foreign lands, the 

news of the death of " Irenaeus,"' the 

veteran editor of the New York Observer, 

came as tidings of a personal bereavement. 

The genial- charrn of his 

pen carried with it so much of his own 

personality that his readers felt always 

the hand-clasp of the cheery guide, 

philosopher and friend, whether his discourses 

were grave or gay. 

In the following clipping from one of 

his weekly letters in the Observer, we 

reproduce a bit of family history of romantic 

interest. 

Many years ago a party of ladies and 

gentlemen were bathing in the surf, on 

the beach at Easthampton, near the 

eastern end of Long Island. A young 

clergyman walking on the sand some 

little distance from the party of bathers 

was suddenly startled by cries of distress 

from the water. He perceived on 

the instant that some one had been carried 

out by the undertow, and the rest, 

panic-stricken, unable to render aid. A 

stalwart young man and a strong swimmer, 

he rushed to the spot, flinging off 

his coat as he ran, plunged into the sea, 

found a young lady drowning, rescued 

her gallantly and brought her to the 

land. She was speedily restored. It 

was natural that such an incident should 

result in friendship, which ripened into 

affection and led to the marriage of the 

parties. The writer of these lines is 

the third of the children that followed 

this romantic union. So that, from her 

who was rescued from the very jaws of 

death, there have sprung children and 

children's children who have risen up 

to pronounce blessings on her name 

which is now lovingly bourne in the 

fourth generation from the saved on 

that beach at Easthampton. I have 

just returned from the spot, and inspired 

by the delicious, bracing air, the 

sight of the great and wide sea, have 

been impelled to tell the story which 

has been a tradition, but as yet unpublished.

English "Crowner's Quest." 

The grave-digger in Hamlet speaks 

slightingly of "crowner's-quest law," 

meaning the coronor's inquest which 

had decreed Christian burial to a 

suicide, who would have been buried at 

the cross-roads had she *' not been a 

gentlewoman." An English reporter, 

haying gone through two Yorkshire reports 

of inquests, publishes some of 

them as specimens of "crowner's-quest" 

English. In the following cases the 

juries found such verdicts as these: 

"She come to her death by the 

lighten striken her." 

"Come to his death in the following 

manner, to wit: He was born dead." 

" From laying out in the sun to dry 

after tumbling down a well." 

" From the hands of some person Or 

persons to the jury unknown and afterward 

a-going on the track and got run 

over by incoming train." 

" From exposier or something." 

" She come to her death by strangulation 

in testimony we have sit our 

hands and seal the day above wroten." 

" By taking into his own hands an 

overdose of morphene, or something of 

that sort." 

" From causes unknown to the jury 

and having no medical attendance." 

" Said child, aged i day old, came to 

her death from spasms, said child having 

been found by the witness in a 

trunk, under very suspicious circumstances." 

" The jourers on their ouaths do say 

that he come to his deth by old age, as

" Come to his death from the following

THE HOSPITAL REVIEW 

THE HOSPITAL REYIEW. 

ROCHESTER. N. Y.. OCTOBER 15. 1885. 


On the 18th of October we visited the 

Hospital and found the lawn deserted; a 

damp, chilly atmosphere out of doors was 

not tempting to the invalids, and most of 

them were within their rooms or the Hospital 

Wards. 

Sixteen were receiving treatment in the 

Female Medical Ward. Two of these 

were confined to their cots, both being consuptives. 

An aged German woman who 

had been blind for seven years, had been 

operated upon for cataract, and another 

operation will probably be necessary; beside 

her sat her husband, evidently seeking 

to comfort her with his love and sympathy. 

One woman had a gathering in her head 

and also diseased lungs. Another woman 

with diseased lungs was groaning with pain 

in her limbs and side. Most of the inmates 

of this ward were afflicted with 

chronic diseases; Mrs. McE, who has long 

had swelled limbs said they were more uncomfortable 

than usual. A dyspeptic patient 

had been very sick but was better. 

There were fourteen patients in the Female 

Surgical Ward. Two of the aged 

ones were hobbling about on their canes 

and seemed in comfortable condition; one 

was familiarly known in the ward as "Grandmother," 

and the German one as " Groszmutter." 

In the Cross Ward were two 

women suffering from internal tumors; 

both were obliged to resort to opiates to 

mitigate their pain. The one, a German 

woman, about thirty-three years old, was 

the mother of five children, and the youngest, 

a baby of seventeen months, had been 

brought to the Hospital to have its burnt 

leg dressed, and she was fondling the little 

thing in a motherly, affectionate way. Our 

heart ached as we heard her sad story. 

Twice a day she receives hyperdermic treatment, 

and without this she could not sleep. 

Mrs. James, the colored paralytic, who has 

so long been an inmate of the Hospital, is 

at last released from her sufferings, she 

very quietly breathed her last about two 

weeks since. Quite a number of patients 

were amusing themselves with their needles. 

Seventeen were under treatment in the 

Male Surgical Ward. Eight of whom 

were confined to their cots. One of these 

who had a compound fracture of the leg 

was doing well, as also was a man whose 

arm had been amputated. One patient 

while crossing the railroad track had been 

struck by the engine and his arm and ankle 

fractured. One man had an inflamed foot. 

Two deaths had occurred in the ward, the 

one, that of a man who was run over by a 

cart and injured internally, the other that of 

a boy who had been run over on the railroad. 

There were seventeen patients in the 

Male Medical Ward, only three of whom 

were confined to their beds. One of these 

was the excema patient, whose convalescence 

is so extremely slow that he has to 

exercise great patience. He said to us 

that Christ suffered without complaining, 

and in his cheerful bearing this sick man 

beautifully illustrates the sustaining power 

of his Christian faith. He is unable to be 

dressed; he is wrapped about with sheets 

and bears his peculiar trials with fortitude. 

One man was convalescing from typhoid 

fever, and another who had had trouble 

with his eye and knee was improving. Mr. 

C, who had been afflicted with asthma and 

other diseases had, after a hemorrhage, died. 

A Swiss German, a decorative painter, had 

also died. An aged paralytic patient said 

he felt he was more comfortable and could 

get about with less difficulty than formerly. 

In the Lying-in-Ward were four mothers 

and four babies. 

In passing through the Wards we found 

pleasant tokens of the visits of the Flower 

Mission, which were cherished by the invalids.



We found four wee, plump babies in the 

nursery, but there was another baby seventeen 

months old that interested us greatly. 

She was in the Lower Cross Ward, where 

her mother is confined to her bed with an 

internal tumor that causes her so much 

pain that she can only sleep when under 

the influence of medicine. The mother 

was sitting up in bed, fondling her baby, 

who had been brought to the Hospital by 

her brother, Frank Jischkie, twelve years 

old. He is the oldest of five children, and 

since his mother has been sick at the Hospital 

he has worked for and taken care ,of 

the others, while his father has been out at 

work. The hot cover of the stove rolled 

over and burnt the leg of his baby sister 

so badly that every day it has to be dressed 

by the H6spital nurse, and Frank brings it 

up from Lyell avenue in his arms and carries 

it home again. The sore caused by 

the burn is about as large as a silver twenty-five 

cent piece. A kind lady has promised 

to send a baby carriage for the use of 

the little baby, and a woman has come to 

Frank's home to take care of the children, 

and Frank is delighted with the prospect of 

attending school once more. The suffering 

mother, the burnt baby, and kind 

brother, all interested us. 

Another baby child is little Sarah, a colored 

girl from the Orphan Asylum, who 

has a curvature of the spine and will probably 

be a cripple for life. She keeps in 

bed all the time. She wore a plaster of 

Paris jacket, but it made her uncomfortable, 

and as she has a sore back, it has been 

removed. We found her with four dolls 

and a toy dog beside her. 

Rosa was up, dressed and with her scarlet 

knitting work made a very pretty picture; 

Minnie Bryant also was knitting. Katy H., 

the girl who, more than two years ago, was 

so badly burnt by carrying hot ashes, is so 

well that she has left the Hospital, her 

burn entirely healed, and she has found a 


pleasant home with an uncle in Medina. 

Terrance is improving and says he his going 

to live in the New Children's Pavilion. 

Max Kraus has left his rolling chair and 

can walk a little without crutches; he was 

quite earnest we should note his improvement; 

he still wears the harness on his 

head and is a funny looking little boy with 

this strange arrangement about his head. 

Lorenz Fisher, who has rheumatism in the 

knees, is better; he has left his cot and 

walks about slowly; his limbs are still bent. 

His trouble was caused by getting wet on 

his birthday, the 19th of June; he took a 

cold and it settled in his knees. Not a 

very nice way of celebrating his birthday, 

was it ? Freddy Lyons is now confined to 

his cot. Tommy Heeney does not change 

much. George Tanner, sixteen years old, 

is a new patient. He crushed his leg between 

the elevator and the wall in Hamilton 

& Mathews' store; he keeps his bed 

but is doing well. A boy who was run 

over on the railroad, injured his leg and 

arm so much that amputation of both was 

necessary, but this did not save him; he 

died soon after the operations. These are 

the kind of children for whom the Pavilion 

was built. Who will help us pay for it? 

Our New Pavilion. 

The Children's Pavilion is now making 

a fine appearance, and the work is progressing 

rapidly. The extension is nearly finished; 

the tucking almost done. On the 

8th of October the workmen were putting 

on the last coat of plastering, and the next 

week the carpenters expected to commence 

finishing the building, putting on the windows 

and door frames. 

We are indebted to Mr. A. Bristol for a 

donation of three register faces for ventilating 

the engineers' sleeping room. 

Our thanks are due to the Steam Gauge 

and Lantern Co. for gratuitously repairing 

our steam gauge.

Officious. 

The fearful threats which some make 

of what they would do, etc., are doublydroll 

and ridiculous when the threatened 

individual happens to be present 

without their knowing it. Anecdotes 

similar to the following of General 

Grant have been told of the Duke of 

Wellington and several incognito kings, 

but the similiarity does not make this 

one less probable or less amusing : 

One of General Grant's visits to the 

Catskills, it is related that he wandered 

away from his companions one day, 

stretched himself beside a trout-stream 

in one of the shady nooks somewhere 

in Shandaken. He was half-napping, 

when a stalwart native broke in upon 

him with stern address. It was the 

owner of that trout-brook, confident 

that he had caught a trespasser upon 

his lawful rights. 

" Git out! " cried the sturdy mountaineer. 

" Git out o here quick, or I'll 

give you such a duckin' as ye won't 

soon forgit!" 

" But my dear sir, I "— 

The general did not finish. 

" Git, I say! " quoth the Ulster landlord. 

"Git. and don't let me ketch 

ye snupin' round here agin, or I'll 

thrash ye—thrash ye, sir! I'd thrash 

ye even if ye was Genril Grant hisself!"


The twinkle that crept into the trespasser's 

eye did not tend to mollify the 

furious brook-owner. 

" I'll find out ye name and prosecute 

ye. Ye needn't be a-smilin'; I kin find 

it out easy enough ye'll see." 

" Oh, don't go to too much trouble, 

my friend," was the distressing reply, 

" I'll tell you my name myself. It is 

Grant, — General Grant,—and if I've 

intruded, I really beg your par "— 

The old soldier was talking to air; 

that countryman had vanished. 

But nevertheless he eventually recovered 

in time to hold out, as an inducement 

to summer boarders from 

New York, the manifold attractions of 

Grant Hill, now one of the most popular 

trout-streams in that mountain district. 

««Father's Old Boots are There ! " 

Many a picture of moving pathos appears 

in the dark gallery of drunkenness. 

We have seen but few more 

touching ones than this from the pen 

of Mrs. M. A. Kinder. She describes 

little Benny, the son of a drunken 

father, sitting in a room with his 

mother and little sister. By looking 

at his sad and thoughtful face one 

would have taken him to be ten years 

of age, yet he was but six. No 

wonder. For four years this almost 

baby had been used to seeing a drunken 

father go in and out of the cottage. 

He scarcely remembered anything from 

him but cruelty and abuse, especially 

towards his kind and loving mother. 

But now he is dead ! The green sod 

had lain on his grave a week or so, but 

the terrible effects of his conduct were 

not buried with him. The poor children 

would start with a shudder at every uncertain 

step on the walk outside, and 

at every hesitating hand upon the latch. 

On the day mentioned above, Benny's 

mother was getting dinner. 

' Will my little son go to the wood 

shed and get mother a few sticks to 

finish boiling the kettle? 

' I don't like to go to the wood-shed, 

mamma,' said Benny, looking down. 


' Why, my son ? ' 

' Because there is a pair of father's 

old boots on the beam out there, and I 

don't like to see them. 

'Why do you mind the old boots, 

Benny, any more than you do your 

father's old coat and hat upstairs ?' 

' Because,' said Benny, the tears filling 

his blue eyes, ' they look as if they 

wanted to kick me.' 

O the dreadful after-influence of a 

drunken father to innocent children! 

what an awful memory to bear through 

life !—Richmond Christian Advocate. 

Illuminated Nest of the Baya. 

The nest is in itself a beautiful and 

ingenious piece of work. The upper 

portion is divided into two chambers, 

one for Mother Baya while she is sitting, 

and one for Father Baya when he has 

earned the right to rest by having provided 

his wife with food. The lower 

portion of the nest is a general living 

room for the whole family as soon as 

the little ones have grown strong 

enough to leave the upper chamber. 

Here is a home that might well be all 

that the most exacting could require, 

but having provided for creature comfort, 

the baya has yet to gratify its 

sense of the beautiful. The little mother 

is hardly settled down when the male 

bird, having put the finishing touches 

to the nest, darts forth and returns with 

a fresh lump of clay, which he affixes 

to the inner wall of the nest. Then 

quickly away again to capture one of 

the living sparks of which there are 

myriads in the tropics. The fire-fly is 

secured to the lump of clay, and lights 

up the little home with its phosphorescent 

glow. Another and another are 

added, until the patient little mother 

has light enough to cheer her during 

the long dark night. After that one or 

more of the animated diamonds is fastened 

to the exterior, there to glitter 

and flash for the delection of the outside 

world, for the baya is no selfish 

lover of art. He does not lock his 

treasures up in his gallery, but is willing 

to share his enjoyment with all.


And what pleasure he does give can be 

easily comprehended by a slight effort 

of the imagination, which has only to 

picture a quaint little hut with overhanging 

eaves nestling in the gloom 

of a tangled tropical forest. From the 

eaves gently wave the gayiy illuminated 

bird-nest lanterns, shedding a soft, 

happy home light on the poor little 

Cottage, which loses its wretchedness 

for the time being, and is transformed 

into a fairy palace.—Harper s Magazine. 

If the way of heaven be narrow, it is 

not long, and if the gate be straight it 

opens into endless life. 

A little girl sent out to hunt eggs 

came back unsuccessful, complaining 

that " lots of hens were standing round 

doing nothing."

A Gem. 

If a pilgrim has been shadowed 

By a tree that I have nursed; 

If a cup of clear cold water 

1 have raised to lips athirst; 

If I've planted one sweet flower 

By an else too barren way; 

If I've whispered in the midnight 

One sweet word to tell of day; 

If, in one poor bleeding bosom, 

I a woe-swept chord have stilled; 

If a dark and restless spirit 

I with hope of Heaven have filled; 

If I've made for life's hard battle- 

One faint heart grow warm and strong, 

Then my God ! I thank Thee—bless Thee 

For the precious gift of song. 

—MAEY LOUISE CHITWOOD. 

I have been benefited by praying for 

others; for by making an errand to God 

for them I have gotten something for 

yself.—Rutherford.

The Rochester Female Charitable 

Society. 

The annual meeting of this Society was 

held on Tuesday>afternoon, November 3d, 

in the Guild room of St. Luke s church. 

The opening devotional exercises were conducted 

by the Rev. Dr. J. Shaw, and the 

following officers elected: 

Trustees—Mr. Wm. N. Sage, Mr. Oscar 

Craig, Mr. Wm. H. Ward, Mr. Frederick A. 

Whittlesey, Mr. George E. Mumford, Mr. M. 

F. Reynolds. 

President—Mrs. Oscar Craig. 

First Vice-President—Mrs. Freeman Clarke. 

Second Vice-President—Mrs. W. C. Rowley. 

Third Vice-President—Mrs. Adolphus Morse. 

Secretary—Mrs. Arthur Robinson. 

Treasurer—Mrs. H. P. Brewster. 

Several new districts were arranged and 

additional collectors and visitors appointed.



The following report, being the sixtythird 

annual report, was read by the Secretary, 

Mrs. Arthur Robinson: 

LADIES.—With the close of another year, we 

have the same story to tell, of our efforts to do 

good as we have had opportunity ; remembering 

the words of Christ, " Inasmuch as ye have 

done it unto one of the least of these my 

brethren, ye have done it unto me." The winter 

was a severe one, work was difficult to 

secure, and with the added discouragement of 

sickness or accident, many families have 

looked to our Society for aid and we have rejoiced 

in being able, often, to bridge over the 

season of disheartenment, until health and 

strength were restored, wherewith to begin 

anew the battle of life. The gratitude so frequently 

expressed for assistance rendered, is 

very cheering and in almost every instance, 

we find a willingness manifested to return to 

self dependence, as soon as health will'permit. 

Owing to the growth of our city, it has been 

found necessary to enlarge the field of our 

labors, and eight new districts have been added 

to our already long list. Our monthly meetings 

have been well attended; an average of 

thirty-three being present each month. In the 

retrospect of the past year, we have to mourn 

over the vacancies made by death in our membership. 

In November last, died Mrs. Nathaniel 

T. Rochester, after an illness of many 

months, borne most patiently and trustfully. 

Sanctified by trial and affliction, her life had 

been hid with Christ in God, for many years, 

and her ministrations to the sick and sorrowing 

have made her memory blessed. In January, 

after a long life of usefulness, Mrs. Chester 

Dewey entered into rest. Like Mrs. Rochester, 

she" was connected with this Society in 

its earliest days, and her interest in it never 

abated. Her life was singularly rounded and 

complete and like a sheaf of wheat, fully ripe, 

she was gathered into the garner of the Lord. 

In February, we were again called on to part 

with one of our number, Mrs. George T. Whitney, 

who had been stricken down by disease in 

the midst of her great usefulness. With a 

heart full of sympathy, willing hands "and an 

open purse, she did with her might what 

her hands found to d. In October, Mrs. 

Dr. Armstrong, fell asleep in Jesus. She 

was long interested in this Society both as 

directress and visitor, until increasing years 

and feebleness caused her to lay aside her 

active part in its duties. Such lives as these 

need no comment. They are "living epistles 

known and read of all men." Many of our 

number have been called to pass through the 

waters of affliction, during the past year, and 

their own experience of sorrow will make 

them more than ever tender in their, sympathies 

with the widows and the fatherless. It 

is with sincere regret that we are called upon 

to note the retirement of our beloved president, 

Mrs. Maltby Strong. She began active work 

in this Society in 1835, and held the various 

positions of collector, visitor, directress and 

vice-president, until 1859, when she became its 

president. For twenty-six years the has most 

faithfully and acceptably filled this office; and 

while we thank her for all she has been to the 

Society, we feel that we shall greatly miss her 

wise counsel and gentle presence in the direction 

of our meetings. After nearly fifty years 

of service, she can never lose her interest in 

the Society, and we know that we shall still 

have her sympathy in every good work. In 

entering upon another year, we would crave 

the generosity of those who would be blessed 

in remembering God's poor. With the extending 

of our boundaries, more money will be required 

to carry on the work, and as we have 

no expenses save the trifling ones for printing 

and postage, the donations go directly to the 

object for which they were given. 

We would acknowledge with gratitude the 

kindness of St. Luke's church in allowing us a 

place of meeting, and to the press of the city 

and to Mr. Ezra R. Andrews for favors received. 

To all who have aided us in any way we 

offer our sincere thanks. 

Respectfully submitted.

Mrs. M. M. Mathews, Secretary of the 

Board of Lady Managers of the Rochester 

City Hospital, then read the following 

twenty-second annual report of the City 

Hospital: 

LADiiis: Another year of service, the twenty-second, 

is ended, and the Lady Managers 

present to-day the record, with grateful thanks 

to our Heavenly Father for any good accomplished, 

any suffering relieved, or any hearts 

comforted. Our aim is perfection, but as it is 

never reached here below, we sorrow for any 

mistakes made, or any good left undone. In 

view of the necessit ies which arise, the Managers 

are of times •' entangled and shut in," not 

knowing which way to turn, when the command 

of God given to Moses, " Speak unto the


children of Israel that they go forward " comes 

to us, and though a wall seemingly as impassable 

as the Red sea is before us, depending 

upon God for aid and strength, we " go forward." 

" Hitherto the Lord hath helped us," 

raising up friends, who by their liberal and 

substantial gifts have enabled us to prosecute 

this work. Shall we doubt Him now in our 

great necessity? 

Death has been very busy during the past 

year. Dr. H. F. Montgomery, President of the 

Medical and Surgical Staff, died November 8, 

1884, after a continuous service of more than 

twenty years in the Hospital. 

Mrs. N. T. Rochester, a devoted Manager, 

one of the original committee appointed by 

your board, after many months of sickness, 

peacefully fell asleep November 19, 1884. 

Mrs. George F. Danforth was chosen a Manager 

in 1865. After several years of faithful 

work, she was prevented by sickness from regular 

attendance at our meetings, but she lost 

not her interest. After a brief illness, she died 

January 25, 1885. 

Mrs. George J. Whitney was elected a member 

in 1867. Her executive ability, her energy 

in devising ways to forward this work, united 

with her generosity, rendered her invaluable. 

Mrs Whitney's health failing, she spent a year 

abroad, but returned October, 1884, and lingered 

with much suffering until February 26,1885. 

By the death of Mrs. M. A. Gilman, June 6, 

1885, the Hospital sustained a great loss. For 

five years she had been the Recorder, unselfish, 

untiring she won the respect and love of all. 

"Faithful unto death," what higher praise 

can be bestowed ? Who can reap a richer reward? 

One laid aside from active work, pining on a 

sick bed—waiting to do her Master s bidding— 

"waiting with a hope that cannot fail," still 

another watching by a loved companion in feeble 

health. What wonder if our courage fails; 

our hearts sink with such a record of sorrow ? 

But never has there been more need of energetic 

action. The Hospital full to overflowing, 

and a treasury more than empty, exigencies 

continually arising, we hope the benevolent 

and generous friends will give freely of their 

substance. " While we have time, let us do 

good unto all men." 

Medical Staff—Dr. W. S. Ely, Dr. E. V. 

Stoddard, Dr. Charles A. Dewey.

and Austria. One hundred and nineteen 

have been supported entirely or in part by 

charity. Total number of days supported 8,425. 

The Training School for Nurses started September, 

1880, has had applications from 278 

persons for admission, 86 during the past year. 

There have been 31 members of the School 

during the year. Graduated, 7; probationers 

not accepted, 3; left on account of sickness of 

sister, 1; dismissed, 1; number now remaining, 

19; number having done nursing away, 18. 

This portion of our work, while expensive, we 

cannot dispense with, for the sake of the Hospital 

and the community at large. We regret 

we cannot supply all the applications for nurses 

for the sick outside. 

Sufficient funds having been given to warrant 

the commencement of the Children's Pavilion, 

plans and specifications kindly furnished 

by Mr. Church, architect, ground was broken 

and the building commenced in July. The 

contract having been given to Mr. W. H. Gorsline 

July 31, 1885, the corner-stone was laid 

with appropriate exercises. Prayer was offered 

by Rev. Dr. Riggs and addresses by the Mayor, 

Dr. Anderson and Dr. Anstice, Rev. Mr. Mann 

and Rev. Mr. Adams, all commending the 

work and rejoicing that we can look upon the 

realization of this so-much-desired event. 

There have been thirty-four children in the 

Hospital under fifteen years, and thirty-four 

infants. Truly this is a needed work. 

The Mite Box fund, suggested by Mrs. G. J. 

Whitney, and which has furnished funds for 

many necessities, is still quietly at work, 

though having lost some of its first novelty. 

The Sunday services are supplied by the students 

of the Theological Seminary and Young 

Men's Christian Association. 

Our grateful acknowledgements we tender 

to all that have aided this work, to the Democrat 

and Chronicle, Union and Advertiser, 

Herald and Post-Express, for their liberality in 

allowing us the use of their columns. 

Our annual donation will be held Thursday 

and Friday, December 10th and 11th, in Powers' 

building, Mr. Powers having given permission 

so kindly, as heretofore for many years. 

The HOSPITAL REVIEW still presents monthly 

the records of the Hospital work, and will contain, 

as well as the daily papers, a more extended 

notice of the donation days, which we 

hope will prove to be days full of good deeds 

of charity, gladdening the hearts of the Mana 

gere. MRS. M. M. MATHEWS, 

Corresponding Secretary.



Nature a Physician. 

A TRUE NARRATIVE. 

During the winter of the small-pox, especially 

in its mitigated type, the varioloid, 

prevailed extensively in the City of S. in the 

State of N— Y—. 

At that season I was residing temporarily in 

that place, pursuing my collegiate studies, aud 

in the early part of January —— was attacked 

by the epidemic in its milder form. The premonitory 

symptoms foretold that I was to 

have no ordinary siege; and, accordingly, 

having made ample arrangements for a long 

and severe sickness, I took to my bed, after 

calling in Dr. McD., an old and respectable 

physician. He prescribed the customary medicines; 

the disease had its " run " as usual, the 

red spots on the skin, by which it first indicated 

itself, becoming veritable pustules, and 

these enlarging until they bad arrived at a i 

sufficient state of fullness to be termed small 

pyramids, dotting the countenance m multitudes, 

and giving to it the appearance of anything 

else rather than what, by an extravagant 

figure, has been called 

" The human face divine." 

It was at this stage of the disease, known, I 

believe, among the faculty, as the crisis, that 

an episode was enacted, unexpected alike by 

me and my worthy doctor. 

My boarding-house was about one-fourth of 

a mile from the College. My rooms were in 

the second story of the house, and were connected 

by a door opening from a small bedroom 

occupied by me. into a larger front one 

where my "chum" slept, who performed the 

officeR of nurse and watcher. For several days 

prior to the 15th of January, I had labored under 

a harmless, and, to me, a very pleasant delirium, 

the usual attendant of variola; and, 

upon this night, I had conceived the fancy 

that my chum and myself had gone to the village 

of S., two miles distant, to visit a caravan 

of wild animals; that J. had become separated 

from him, and was anxiously endeavoring to 

find him. Under this idea, 1 found myself in 

the middle of the night looking out of a front 

window, and carefully spelling by the moonlight 

a familiar gilt shop-sign on the opposite 

side of the street. It suddenly occurred to me 

that 1 was in the city of S. and had a clue to 

my lost companion. 

This chum of mine would play cards, being 

particularly fond of whist; and as he was 

much more partial to the books of that game 

than to his College books, he frequently played 

me the trick of absenting himself, and resorting 

to a second story room of the College, to 

pursue with others his favorite amusement. 

Having him and that room in view, I cautiously 

opened the front chamber, and walked quietly 

and stealthily through the upper hall to the 

stairs, and creeping down these, passed along 

the lower hall and out of the front door into 

the street. 

The winter was one of unusual severity. 

The mercury ranged from zero downward, and 

not unfrequently indicated a temperature Of 

even twenty degrees below that point. The 

snow, too, of that season, as storm after storm 

had bedded it up in layers of from six to 

twelve inches, was so high in City-streets as to 

hide from the view of persons passing along 

one walk those on the opposite one. Of that 

winter, the month of January was the coldest, 

and of that month the night of the 15th was 

especially severe. 

The bright and new moon looked forth from 

cloudless heavens '• fretted with golden fire," 

upon a scene of which she, unconscious to herself, 

was the chief artist. In her light, church 

and college and market and House stood out in 

bold relief ; while upon the snowy canvas her 

beams had penciled the shadowy forms of these, 

and the yet more delicate outlines of tree and 

shrub. 

The intense cold had congealed the air into 

myriads of icy crystals, and these sparkled and 

danced joyfully in the moon-beauis ; while the 

incrusted snow reflected back from its surface 

of diamonds the glances of the moon, and the 

tree-tops, whitened by hoar-frost, glistened 

with countless gems in her bright light. Twas 

the christening of the new-born Year ; and 

Day and Night, Sun and Moon, Frost and 

Snow witnessed it, as in Nature's own temple 

hoary Winter, attired in robes of vestal whiteness, 

bathed Young Time in this flood of 

mingled glories; and from afar, there came 

floating upon the still air, the strains of responsive 

music from the distant orbs, not one of 

which 

" But in his motion like an angel sings, 

Still quiring to the young eyed cherubim." 

Having reached the sidewalk. I turned into 

the street; imagining that the building next 

north of my residence had shortly before burnt 

up, and to avoid what I supposed hot bricks on 

the walk, (I seemed to see them as realities,) I 

went into the street. This delusion originated 

thus: My room-mate, who at that time was 

soundly sleeping in the room I had left, and 

within a few steps of where I must have 

passed in going to the door, on retiring had incautiously 

placed his woollen stockings too near 

the stove. These had become burnt; and the 

odor being inhaled had suggested to the mind 

the idea which induced me to leave the walk. 

Over the snow, my feet protected only by cotton 

socks ; through the air—it was a " nipping 

and an eager" one, and its bite much 'shrewder 

' than that in the cold of which Hamlet and 

his two friends shivered, as they stood in the 

middle of a like night upon the platform at 

Elsinore, watching for his father's ghost; 

through the thousand frosty needles which 

penetrated my night dress, pricking and stinging 

at every pore; on I wandered, along the 

middle of the street, and up to the College 

gate. Opening this. I passed along the yard to 

the front steps, and while ascending these I 

slipt, fell and struck my forehead. The blow 

seemed to awaken me, and 1 became partially 

aware of the dangers of my situation. Recovering, 

I mounted the steps, entered through 

the front-door, and passing along the hall, ascended 

the stairs to room No. —. Rap! rap I 

rap ! Not a noise, or stir, or whisper, or breath


was heard from within ; when from without, 

a "°» repeated knock awoke the inmates. 

Who can it be?" was asked in a timorous 

whisper; and at last a voice, courageous in 

spite of ghost or spirit, called with trembling 

accents, "Who's there?" and the form without 

in frozen words replied, "It's I." "It 

can't be , he is sick a-bed;" and speculating 

thus and upon the propriety of giving 

admittance, two being opposed, fearing contagion, 

and one in favor, who prevailed, they 

reluctantly opened the door. Bent and stiffened, 

white as the snow without (for the blood 

had been driven by the cold back to its channels 

toward the heart,) trembling and-shivering, 

there I stood, having scarcely left my bed 

during the previous two weeks. By this time, 

my faculties had returned. I was put into the 

bed, my feet rubbed, and heated fire-bricks 

laid against them. I soon dropped into a 

sweet sleep, and was awaked by the arrival of 

my physician. On being called, he stated he 

would be over and see me, though his visit 

would be of little benefit, as I could not survive 

the exposure of the night The result 

however proved otherwise, for after a quiet 

rest until morning, when my clothes were 

brought from the boarding-house, I walked 

home without difficulty, and from that day 

was able to be about, and in three days was as 

well as usual. 

My worthy doctor called often (not professionally) 

to see me ; and, during one of his 

visits, related an instance not unlike the one 

here narrated. The case was that of a woman, 

over whom in one of the last stages of fever, 

a council had been held, which declared she 

nik'ht not live until morning. While in this 

condition, her watcher had fallen asleep ; when 

in a state of delirium the patient arose, went 

to a well, and drank from the bucket very 

freely. She was there found, taken back to 

bed, in which she perspired profusely, and by 

morning the fever had abated, and she had 

entered upon a state of convalescence. 

It is not a little remarkable, as showing the 

power of imagination and fear over health, 

that of the dramatis personal of what may not 

inaptly be termed this MIDWINTER-NIGHT'S 

DREAM, the persons whose dread of disease 

would have left me to perish in the cold, were 

some weeks after seized with the epidemic ; 

while the third escaped, although by his asiduous 

attentions he had exposed himself much 

more than the others. He is now a skilful 

and successful physician in the City of New 

York, and should this narrative ever reach his 

eye, he will recognize in himself the Good 

Samaritan, and in his companions, perchance, 

the Priest and Levite of that night. 

Of course, I leave it for others to account for 

the singularly harmless and beneficial results 

of the night-excursion; I am neither physician 

nor philosopher. But I may be allowed 

to say from that night's experience, that 

though it be true that " Man is the Interpreter 

and Minister of Nature," it is none the less 

true, that she sometimes takes upon herself 

the execution of her kind offices, and then, as 

if in requital for his services. NATURE IS A 

MINISTER TO MAN.

St. Luke's Flower Mission. 

For some eight yeairs past the young ladies 

of the Flower Mission have never failed to 

carry each week to the City Hospital such 

flowers as they have had at their disposal to 

cheer the inmate?. Other institutions have 

shared in the flowers when there have been 

enough. At the annual meeting, held in the 

Guild room, the following resolution was 

adopted in recognition of the special liberality 

of one of our well-known florists, who has so 

uninteruptedly remembered their work: 

Resolved, That the hearty thanks of the Flower 

Mission be given to White Brothers for their very 

generous donations of flowers every week during the 

entire summer, and that it has been a genuine pleasure 

to the members of the mission to be the almoners of the 

floral bounty of White Brothers and other cheerful 

givers to the sick and suffering at the City Hospital 

and other institutions. 

Although the young ladies who carry on 

this work are members of St. Luke's Guild, 

they are doing service for our general charitalbe 

institutions, and would be glad to be the 

means through which any of our citizens could 

gladden the sick and suffering with such flowers 

as they may have to give. The weekly 

meetings.to arrange the flowers are held on 

Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock, in the Guild 

roem. in the rear of St. Luke's Church, and 

any flowers will be thankfully received then 

and there. Arrangements are also made by 

which flowers will be called for between 9 

o'clock and 10 o'clock on that day at any place 

designated, either regularly or whenever there 

may be flowers to spare, due notice having 

been sent to any of the officers named below : 

Miss Anna J. Anderson, 170 Exchange street. 

Miss Kate R. Montgomery. 160 Spring street. 

MissJElizabeth F. Reid, Strathallan park. 

Miss Mary E. Hart, 90 Plymouth avenue. 



Mothers, whose aching hearts, to-night 

Pour forth to God your anguished prayer, 

Missing your darlings from your sight, 

Weeping o'er little pillows bare. 

Poor mothers! only watching now 

Out in the cold, the tiny mound ; 

Yet you are blessed, your darlings fair 

God's sheltering arms have surely found. 

We plead for little wanderers now— 

Nestlings who hear no mother's call— 

Whose homes now lie in ruins low, 

In tender pity aid them all. 

These wanderers are your treasures now, 

God's treasures, given to your care, 

On them your loving gifts bestow, 

Let them your kind compassion share. 

—Churchman, Dec. 20, 1884.

The Donation Festival of the Rochester 

City Hospital will be held in Powers' building, 

Thursday and Friday, December ioth 

and nth, 1885, during the day and evening. 

The lady managers extend to all our citizens 

and those of the neighboring towns, a 

cordial invitation to aid us in this benevolent 

work. We look to the gentlemen as 

well as ladies and children, for encouragement, 

and by their presence and gifts, to 

manifest their interest in this labor of love. 

We hope to see them, one and all. The 

refreshment tables will be furnished with 

the choicest and most palatable viands, 

dainties and luxuries to be produced. Dinner 

will be served from 12 M. ; supper 

from 5 P. M. 

The fancy tables will afford an opportunity 

for the purchase of Christmas and 

New Year gifts, and will be under the 

charge of Miss A. S. Mumford, assisted by 

Mrs. Wm. E. Hoyt, Miss Lois Whitney, 

Mrs. Josiah Anstice and Miss A. E. M.

Donation Days. 

The Managers this year would make a 

special appeal to their patrons, as their 

needs are unusually pressing. Their treasury 

is not only empty, but a debt of about 

$12,000 is resting on the institution. The 

report of the Secretary, given in this number 

of the REVIEW, indicates the work 

done the past year in this institution, but 

it is not the current expenses alone that 

have crippled this charity. 

During the last four years necessary 

work or improvements, such as heating by 

steam, sewage, completing the small pavilions 

needed for isolating patients, the carrying 

on of the the training school for 

nurses, finishing rooms in the dome,, and 

other outlays, that the true interests of the 

Hospital made imperative, have from year 

to year, in addition to the current expenses, 

made heavy drafts upon the treasury, and 

the Managers feel some special efforts must 

be made to liquidate the debt and enable 

them to provide for the current expenses of 

the Hospital. 

Those who have had sickness in their 

own homes know that it is expensive.


Large, well-ventilated appartments are essential 

to the recovery of the sick, but it 

costs a good deal to heat them ; nourishing 

food is strengthening, but it has to be paid 

for ; weak and nervous persons demand a 

great deal of nursing, and many assistants 

are necessary to properly care for the 

invalids. 

In our frequent visits to the institution 

we have been amazed, in case of serious 

accidents, to see how quickly surgeons and 

surgical instruments and appliances, nurses, 

friends and priests could be collected, offering 

their ministries to the sufferer, but 

this is attended with heavy expenses, and 

the community that enjoys such privileges, 

we trust will liberally respond to the call of 

those who conscientiously and carefully seek 

to dispense the bounty of which they are 

made the almoners. The sick and the 

maimed, the helpless and the suffering, 

plead through this charity, and we trust the 

response on Donation Days will be proportionate 

to the needs of the Rochester City 

Hospital. 

The Children's Pavilion. 

In the HOSPITAL REVIEW of February, 

1877, in an article entitled " Work for the 

Little Folks," an appeal was made to the 

children, that they should raise $3,000 and 

endow a children's cot at the City Hospital. 

The amount seemed a large one to be raised 

by the little folks, but the idea pleased 

them. Responses came at once, the children 

in various ways earned money ; they 

held fairs, gave exhibitions, had tables on 

Donation Days, and their friends contributed 

thank and memorial, Easter and 

Christmas offerings. Month by month the' 

endowment fund grew, and at our Donation 

Festival held December 15th, 1883, it was 

completed, and at once bricks were given 

to start a Children's Pavilion Building 

Fund, and a surplus of $41.93 was transferred 

to it from the Children's Cot Fund. 

The little folks' interest in the Hospital 


deepened. They watched for the reports 

of the sick children, visited them in the 

Hospital, and worked so enthusiastically, 

that the Children's Pavilion Fund has 

reached the sum of $1,275.24. 

Donations, from persons who withheld 

their names,, have added to this amount, 

enough with the Cot Fund to place about 

$7,000 at the disposal of the managers 

towards the erection of a Children's Pavilion. 

The last year thirty-four children have 

been inmates of the Hospital. So many 

applied for admission that there was not 

room to receive them, and the managers 

felt that they must either refuse to admit 

children or provide suitable quarters for 

them. It was decided to appropriate the 

$7,000 for this purpose, and in July the 

corner stone of the new Children's Pavilion 

was laid. The work has steadily progressed 

; the building is erected and nearly finished, 

and now we appeal to the children to 

raise funds to complete the means necessary 

to pay for the Pavilion. 

The Children's Pavilion table on Donation 

Day will be in charge of Mrs. Charles 

H. Angel, East avenue, who invites contributions 

from all the children. Mrs. R. 

Mathews will then, as at all times, welcome 

money for bricks, or thank or memorial 

offerings. We have faith that the children 

who have worked so nobly for the Children's 

Cot and Pavilion will not grow weary 

in well doing, but that they will aid us, 

from month to month, with their brick 

money, and on Donation Days make liberal 

offerings. 

We are in great need of mattress protectors 

or tidies and of old bed quilts We 

wish some of the sewing societies in the 

neighboring towns;would procure factory 

and quilt some tidies so that they can be 

washed. Every bed in the Hospital should 1 

have a tidy, and some extra ones are needed 

for use while the soiled ones are being 

washed.


56 THE REVIEW 

Among the Invalids. 

The deserted lawn, the vacant settees, 

and rustling leaves whispered to us of autumn, 

as. on the second of November, we 

passed through the Hospital grounds, on 

our way to the City Hospital. 

In the front room of the building the 

Managers had gathered for their monthly 

meeting, to make arrangements for the 

approaching donation, and to devise plans 

for the advancing of Hospital interests. 

A solemn silence pervaded the south reception 

room, for, in an adjoining apartment 

was a young German, who, but recently 

in the full flush of health and womanly 

vigor, had in a moment been cut 

down and unconsciously was passing 

through the dark valley. Friends had been 

summoned, the priest called, and the mother 

was hastening from her work to gaze in 

helpless agony on her dying daughter. 

Mary Ann Hozelwonder about noon had 

left her home on Skye street, where she 

resided with her mother and brother. She 

had started on the railroad track of the 

Buffalo division of the Central Hudson, to 

pick up coal. When near Hague street, 

she saw a passenger train going west on the 

Central Hudson track, and in seeking to 

avoid this she stepped off the track, became 

confused, and crossed to the parallel track of 

the Rochester and Pittsburgh road, directly 

in front of the yard engine, and before 

the engineer could stop his engine, it had 

struck the poor woman, inflicting fatal 

blows. The base of the skull and the collar 

bone were fractured, and there were other 

injuries. She was taken to the City Hospital, 

but her wounds were beyond the power 

of the surgeon, and without recovering consciousness, 

but gently ministered to by the 

hospital nurses, she breathed her last at 

five o'clock. As we left the Hospital the 

priest was seeking to comfort the heartbroken 

mother. 

We found the Male Surgical Ward full 

to overflowing; a number who properly be- 

longed within it had been forced to take 

cots in the Medical Ward. Only one cot 

was vacant, and that was in reserve, to receive 

any sufferer from accident, or person, 

who unexpectedly required prompt Hospital 

surgical treatment and a bed within the 

Ward. Ten persons in this Ward were 

confined most of the time to their beds. A 

man who had fractured both leg and arm 

was able to sit up a few hours daily. A 

dentist, who, at the Suspension Bridge, at 

Niagara, in getting out of a car, had slipped 

and fractured his shoulder, was doing well. 

A man who had fallen in his wood-shed and 

fractured his hip had been two weeks in the 

Hospital, and had weights attached to his 

limb, One man had burnt his leg by the 

explosion of a kerosene lamp. The wound 

was doing well, but wounds from burns 

always require patience. One patient was 

suffering from a punctured wound, another 

from a stricture, and a third from deformed 

and ulcerated legs. One patient had been 

injured by falling across a fence, but was 

gaining, and able to sit up an hour or two 

every day. A man who swept chimneys 

had fallen from a slippery roof on Prospect 

street, had sustained a compound fracture 

of the left leg and injured his face; his 

head was bandaged and he was suffering 

pain, but very grateful and patient, and evidently 

appreciated Hospital ministries. The 

man whose arm was amputated, in consequence 

of injuries received while coupling 

cars on the West Shore railroad, was so 

much better that he had gone home for a 

short visit. George, the colored paralytic, 

was failing. The man who had injured his 

foot by cutting a corn too deeply, had been 

removed to one of the Pavilions, his wound 

resulting in a gangrenous ulcer. One patient 

had been brought to the Hospital 

badly burnt at a fire; he only lived a short 

time. 

Fifteen patients had cots in the Male 

Medical Ward, but five of these properly 

belonged to the Surgical Ward. Two patients 

were confined to the cots, the one


suffering from eczema was taking a course 

of baths which he felt was benefiting him ; 

the other had a rupture. One man had 

died of an overdose of morphine; he was 

brought to the Hospital in an unconscious 

•condition, and only survived a few hours. 

Several of the inmates were the victims of 

chronic diseases. One was convalescing 

from pneumonia. 

No death occurred in October in the 

Female Medical Wards where fifteen were 

under treatment. Only two of these were 

all the time confined to their beds. The 

sickest patient was a consumptive girl 

whose mind was wandering. Another patient 

had consumption, one had a diseased 

heart, another swollen limbs. 

Fifteen were under treatment in the Female 

Surgical Ward, three of whom kept 

their beds. Two of these were cancer 

patients; the third had an amputated 

femur, the result of a railroad accident at 

Charlotte ; the sufferer was a young girl 

about eighteen, and our sympathies were 

enlisted in seeing one eo young thus 

maimed for life. Tilly had had another 

ulcer cut from her arm, but was confined 

to her bed only two days. A patient with 

a diseased rib was improving. 

The Lying-in Ward had two babies, two 

mothers, and three waiting patients. 


" When will the building be ready ? " said 

one of a group of little folks who were 

gathered around Martin Myers, in the Male 

Surgical Ward, all of whom were suitable 

candidates for the new Children's Pavilion. 

We could not answer the question, but we 

can tell you, dear children, something of 

the seven boys we found in the Male Surgical 

Ward, and we think if you could 

have visited the Hospital when we did, you 

would feel a deep interest in our young 

patients, some of whom we hope will soon 

be well enough to leave us, but others will 

probably be occupants of the new Children's 


Pavilion, for which you are furnishing 

bricks. 

Had you gone with us to the Hospital on 

the afternoon of the second of November, 

and entered the Male Surgical Ward, on 

the first cot at your left you would have 

found a youth who some weeks since 

had a deep flesh wound in his leg, it having 

been lacerated in the elevator in Hamilton 

& Mathews' store. The wound was healing 

and the boy looked bright and cheerful, as 

he was receiving a visit from his mother 

and a young friend. Now will you cross 

to the other side of the Ward with us, and 

take a seat beside the cot of Martin Myers ? 

If you will do so we will introduce you to 

Martin and the four boys who are gathered 

around him, and the fifth who soon joins 

them, coming to them in his rolling chair. 

The latter is your little German friend, Max 

Kraus, who is now without his head harness 

and who is so much improved that he can 

walk a little without crutch or cane ; he still 

wears a plaster of Paris jacket. Martin is 

a new hospital patient ; he is dressed, but 

has his arm in a sling and is lying on the 

outside of his couch ; he is pale and his 

face tells of suffering. He is twelve years 

old. While working in a cabinet shop, his 

sleeve caught in some machinery, and before 

he could get away he had lost two 

fingers and a part of his wrist. At his 

right hand, in a rocking chair with crutches 

near him, sits Thomas Corcoran, a large, 

healthy looking youth who sprained his 

ankle by falling from a wagon. Near by 

stands Tommy Laidlow, another new patient, 

thirteen years old ; his arm is in a 

sling for it was fractured by his being 

thrown out from the Casino, while he was 

attempting to enter. The boy next him is 

Tommy Heeney, whose hip is diseased. 

At the foot of the cot is Max in his rolling 

chair. At the left of Martin's cot is Freddy 

Lyons, whose hip has been lanced and who 

keeps his bed a part of the day. 

Now, what do you suppose these boys do



to amuse themselves ? They have a mouth 

organ, letter cards and dominos. They 

find it is too cold to play out of doors much 

now, for they cannot exercise enough to 

keep themselves warm. They say there is 

a checkerboard up stairs, in the Medical 

Ward, but there are a great many to use 

that, and if some of the children could send 

them one and some jack straws, dissected 

maps, or other games, they would be very 

acceptable. We have lingered so long in 

the Male Surgical Ward that we must now 

hasten away to the Medical Ward, where 

we shall find Lorenz Fisher, fourteen years 

old, who was confined to his bed with inflammation 

of the knees ; he is so much 

better that he now walks about without 

cane or crutch ; but he has taken cold and 

has an inflamed eye which was covered 

with a bandage. Terrance Martin has gone 

home, greatly improved. Minnie Bryant 

has had another sick turn, caused by her 

diseased heart, but she is again better. 

Rose is up and busy with her needle making 

fancy articles. Sarah, our little colored 

baby from the Orphan Asylum, is now able 

to wear a plaster of Paris jacket. She is 

a bright, cunning little thing and spends 

most of her time in her crib, with her playthings 

about her. She has a curvature of 

the spine and is unable to help herself 

much. The hospital surgeon was very 

anxious she should make some effort to 

move herself, so the hospital nurses put 

her on the floor, held up a bed quilt to support 

her and a piece of candy a little distance 

away from her. She wanted the 

candy, and by the aid of the bed quilt 

managed to reach it. We hope gradually 

she may be able to gain strength and exercise 

her limbs. 

These are the class of children for whom 

we need the Pavilion. 

We are very grateful to the Missionary 

ladies of Mt. Hor for their four bed tidies. 

They will be very useful for us.

More Bricks. 

The little folks are not forgetting us. Five 

bricks come to us from one household, each of 

the little Moores sending us one. Carolyn 

Augusta Sherwood sends us two more. Eight 

little boys united together, held a circus, sold 

tickets, and sent us $2.25 for the Pavilion fund: 

then come two bricks from dear little Marguerite 

Allen Ely, and a cunning Jflkfe fellow, 

Herbert Siddons Mann, collects Wfny bricks 

and comes with his grandmother, w offer the 

treasurer of the fund brick money, "to help 

build a home for the poor little sick children 

that do not have any homes of their own." We 

hope next month some other children will 

imitate little Herbert's good example. 

The Doll's Fair. 

You know, dear children, when we give 

large parties we send out cards of invitation 

long in advance of the party, so that all 

the guests may be ready for the grand reception. 

We now announce to all the 

children in Rochester, and all their cousins 

in neighboring towns, that there is to be a 

grand Doll's Fair at Powers' Building on 

Donation Days, December ioth and nth. 

Everybody who wants a doll for herself, or 

desires to make a Christmas present of one 

to some little friend, will be sure to find 

just what is needed. There are dolls that 

clap their hands and dance, dolls that will 

talk and say papa and mamma, grandmother 

dolls, baby dolls, colored dolls, waitresses, 

nurses, dolls in bathing clothes, in tailor's 

suits, in jerseys, and every sort of a doll 

you can think of. We heard a lady say, 

that if the dolls did not sell well she did 

not know but she should put her own little 

baby up at auction, and she had had one 

bid for it already. Everything that a doll 

can want you will find at the Fair. There 

are sets of furs, bedsteads and swinging 

cradles, high chairs and swinging chairs, 

and lots of worsted and chrochetted articles. 

A cunning little basket contains a 

complete laundry set, wash tubs and boards, 

clothes-reel and bars, irons and ironing 

board. We cannot begin to tell you of all 

the choice things in the Dolls' Fair. You 

must come and see for yourselves. 


Our Library. 

All those who have enjoyed the varied 

resources of our Library, agree in saying, 

that it is an important element in the Hospital 

life. In the Wards and in the private 

rooms we find books cheering, consoling, 

and brightening both patient and nurse. 

Even the little ones have their simple stories 

and pictures. Could the outside world 

realize the comfort a few books give to 

"poor, sick and weary ones," many generous 

hearts would respond to our requests 

for additional contributions. We earnestly 

trust that many will be led to look upon the 

Library, not as a luxury or a useless item, 

but as a powerful moral and curative agent. 

We have succeeded in collecting 1221 

standards works of fiction, miscellanies, etc. 

The Library is interesting for the reason 

that these books come to us from many 

sources and accordingly furnish a great variety 

of reading matter. Some books are 

old and curious, others modern, but all are 

carefully selected. 

We append a list, as it might interest 

some to know how many volumes we have 

in each department: 

"Biography," 94 

" Children's BOOKS," 119 

"Fiction," 467 

"History,".. 75 

"Miscellanies," 110 

"Poetry," 60 

"Periodicals," 11 

"Reference,". 25 

" Religious Books," 123 

"Travels," 82 

" Duplicates," 44 

" Educational," 11 

1221 

A Child's Gift. 

Little Harry Bacon has sent us five 

bound volumes of the Youth's Companion, 

an acceptable gift. 

Books and papers thankfully received at 

the Hospital.

BY BERTHA SCRANTOM POOL. 

Like a swift footed angel, calm 

And beautiful, her finger held on high, 

God's messenger of mercy walks 

The earth, and listens for bis children's cry; 

His poor, His sick, His needy ones, 

His outcast souls who bear the stains and scars; 

Healing their miseries, with touch 

Of balm, wrought in that realm above the stars. 

Catch at the angels mantle, passing fleet, 

The Master's errands wing its shining feet.

VOL. XXII. ROCHESTER, N. Y., DECEMBER 5, 1885. No. 5 

We have been requested to publish the 

following poem and give the name of its 

author. We do not know by whom it was 

written. We first saw it in " The Changed 

Cross," a collection of choice poems published 

by A. D. F. Randolph, New York, 

in 1865: 

God's Anvil. 

Pain's furnace heat within me quivers, 

God's breath upon the flame doth blow, 

And all my heart in anguish shivers. 

And trembles at the fiery glow; 

And yet I whisper, "As God will!" 

And in His hottest fire hold still. 

He comes, and lays my heart, all heated, 

On the hard anvil, minded so 

Into His own fair shape to beat it 

With His great hammer, blow on blow; 

And yet I whisper, " As God will!" 

And at His Heaviest blows hold still. 

He takes my softened heart and beats it; 

The sparks fly off at every blow; 

He turns it o'er and o'er and heats it, 

And lets it cool and makes it glow; 

And yet I whisper, "As God will!" 

And in His mighty hand hold still. 

Why should I murmur ? for the sorrow 

Thus only longer-lived would be; 

Its end may come, and will to-morrow, 

When God has done His work in me; 

So I say, trusting, " As God will!" 

And, trusting to the end, hold still. 

He kindles for my profit, purely, 

Affliction's glowing fiery brand, 

And all His heaviest blows are surely 

Afflicted by a master hand; 

So I say, praying, " As God will!" 

And hope in Him, and suffer still. 

If the way of heaven be narrow, it is 

not long, and* if the gate be straight it 

opens into endless life.



Foreign Corresponpence. 

The following sôrt extract is from a 

private letter just received, dated Dresden, 

Nov. 16th, 1885 : 

From Baden I went to Mayence and visited 

the auaint old Cathedral, and mounted the 

tower of the Church of St. Stephen, from 

which I had a fine view of the fortifications, 

which are very strong and extensive. Napoleon 

I. used the tower of this church as one 

of his signal stations during his wars, when 

signals had to be sent by flags. The Germans 

are spending enormous sums m fortifying these 

towns on the Rhine and near the border, so 

that if France tries to win back her old territory, 

she will find a warm welcome. 

From Mayence, I commenced the descent of 

tho Rhine, which presents very little of interest 

till Bingen is reached, when the wide, flat 

valley above suddenly changes, and the ranges 

of hills come close to the river. Just here is 

the magnificent statue of Germania, recently 

erected to commemorate the union of the German 

states under the present Emperor. 

From Bingen to Bonn the hill points are 

covered with old castles, some in ruins and 

some restored. Some of these castles are very 

grand in their outlines, others the merest ruins, 

but most of them are rich in legends. Most of 

the hillsides long ago have been stripped of 

their forests, to give place to vineyards, and 

this loss has robbed the hills of the Rhine of 

much of their native beauty; for, if you 

take the most beautiful hill scenery and cut 

off all the forests and plant vines, you will 

greatly diminish the beauty of the scene. Now 

the Rhine, if it had its native forests, but did 

not have its castles, would be beautiful, but 

not as beautiful as the highlands of the Hudson. 

But the Rhine as it is, with its old castles 

and their legends, is very beautiful; but 

its beauty is unique, for you cannot separate 

the charms of the eye from those that come 

with the memory of its legends. At the rocks 

of the Lurlei the beauties are all of nature, for 

at this point, there are no ruins in sight, and 

the bold rock rises from the river with its natural 

forests. Here the passage of the Rhine has 

always been dangerous, and the legend places 

on this rock, the nymph who plays in the 

night, and lures the marine to destruction.

How to Ornament the Christmas Tree. 

Last year in many cities and towns 

there appeared in certain churches and 

halls Christmas trees of marvelous 

beauty. The tips of the green boughs 

were glittering with crystals, and reflected 

the light in many different colors. 

Some of these trees, in addition 

to the crystals, seemed' laden with 

golden fruit, like an orange tree in an 

untimely frost or snow storm. Other 

trees were ornamented with hand-painted 

flags of all nations. 

The method of covering green twigs 

with crystals is a very simple and inexpensive 

one. Put into a bucket a pound 

or more of alum, and pour a gallon or 

more of boiling water upon it. Place 

the tree in such a position that the tips 

of the boughs may remain in this solution 

for some hours, perhaps over 

night. Repeat the process until as 

many boughs are tipped with crystals 

as will make the tree very beautiful. 

Or cut off the twigs, crystallize them, 

and fix them again on the boughs. 

The golden fruit is simply made by 

gilding English walnuts. Hammer a 

long tack into the end of the walnut by 

which to suspend it after gilding. 

Wash the nut with the white of an egg 

with a feather. Then roll it in gold 

leaf, or powder, until it is well gilded. 

Or cover it with tin foil or imitation of 

gold leaf, as the real gold leaf is somewhat 

expensive. 

Acted charades are popular as diversions, 

after the distribution of the 

Christmas presents. The popular word 

in England of late for an elaborate 

acted charade is " Counter-charm "— 

(count) (err) (charm), the whole ending 

with an Oriental scene of a charm and 

counter charm. 

A Last Prayer. 

[Written by Helen Jackson ("H. H.) four days before her 

death.] 

From the December CENTURY. 

Father, I scarcely dare to pray, 

So clear I see, now it is done, 

That I have wasted half my day, 

And left my work but just begun. 

So clear I see that things I thought 

Were right or harmless were a sin; 

So clear I see that I have sought, 

Unconscious, selfish aims to win; 

So clear I see that I have hurt 

The BOUIS I might have helped to save, 

That I have slothful been, inert, 

Deaf to the calls Thy leaders gave. 

In outskirts of Thy kingdoms vast, 

Father, the humblest spot give me; 

Set me the lowliest task Thou hast, 

Let me repentant work for Thee ! 

August 8th.


Surgery and Music. 

One of the most interesting of modern 

surgical operations is that intended 

to remedy a deficiency of the hands in 

piano playing. Everyone who has attempted 

practice on a keyed instrument 

knows that the strength of the 

fingers is not equally distributed. The 

third, or ring finger, cannot be lifted as 

high as the others from the keyboard, 

and displays far less strength when in 

action. 

For example: If the middle and 

little fingers are pressed alternately 

upon the keys with the ring finger, the 

sound produced by the latter is not 

equal in volume to that made by the 

others. 

The cause of this weakness lies in the 

fact that while the muscles controlling 

the other fingers have free play, that 

which governs the ring finger is connected 

on each side, by a short tendon, 

with those of its neighbors. It is supposed 

by physicians that this unnecessary 

muscle is the last trace of a former 

webbed structure of the hand and foot. 

In some hands this tendon is absent, 

and sometimes it is present in one 

member and not in the others. In the 

latter case, it is usually found in the 

right hand. 

It was some years ago suggested that 

surgery might remove this tendon attachment, 

but it is only lately that the 

operation has been common. It is now 

often performed on both hands at a 

sitting, and with the loss of no more 

than a drachm of blood. 

After such an an operation, the liberated 

finger can be elevated an inch 

higher than before, above the plane of 

the hand, and can be used with delightful 

freedom. The liberty of the muscle 

is not attained at the expense of 

any other; the gain in one direction is 

not attended by loss of power elsewhere. 

It is probable that the operation will 

in time become a very common one, 

the necessary accompaniment of a musical 

education. 


A story for the truth of which we do 

not in the least vouch, represents 

Queen Victoria as laying down an excellent 

rule for table manners, but 

whether she was justified in exempting 

herself from its operation, we leave for 

others to say. The old maxim of the 

law is that the sovereign can do no 

wrong. 

It is told that Lord Tennyson and 

his family, including his little granddaughter, 

were dining at Osborne by 

invitation of the queen. During the 

meal the bread-plate ran low, and the 

queen took the last piece. 

Thereupon the little Tennyson girl, 

who had been taught that it was bad 

manners to take the last piece on the 

plate, pointed her finger at the queen, 

and said scornfully— 

" pi ggy. piggy, pig ! " 

The queen came nobly to the rescue 

in this odd situation: " You are quite 

right my dear," said she; " nobody but 

the queen should take the last piece on 

the plate." 

The latest amusing story of a wedding, 

told by a minister, comes from 

one who officiated on the occasion. It 

illustrates the manner in which a man's 

heart can swell and prompt him to almost 

reckless liberality under extraordinary 

conditions: 

A big, raw-boned young farmer entered 

Mr. Freeman's parlor one day, 

accompanied by a shy but comely girl, 

and desired that the marrage ceremony 

be performed. 

The minister complied with the request, 

and when the fatal words were 

spoken, the husband drew from his 

pocket four bright silver quarter-dollar 

pieces. 

He extended them towards the minister 

on his open palm, and exclaimed— 

"There, Brother F., just help yourself 

until you are satisfied." 

The minister took one. 

Whether or not the good minister 

expressed his satisfaction, or went away 

in sullen and ungrateful silence, we are 

not informed.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.. DECEMBER 5. 1885. 

Annual Festival. 

The Donation Festival of the Rochester 

City Hospital will be held in Powers' building, 

Thursday and Friday, December ioth 

and nth, 1885, during the day and evening. 

The Lady Managers extend to all our citizens 

and those of the neighboring towns, a 

cordial invitation to aid us in this benevolent 

work. We look to the gentlemen as 

well as. ladies and children, for encouragement, 

and by their presence and gifts, to 

manifest their interest in this labor of love. 

We hope to see them, one and all. The 

refreshment tables will be furnished with 

the choicest and most palatable viands, 

dainties and luxuries to be produced. Dinner 

will be served from 12 M. ; supper 

from 5 P.M. 

The fancy tables will afford an opportunity 

for the purchase of Christmas and 

New Year gifts, and will be under the 

charge of Miss A. S. Mumford, assisted by 

Mrs. Wm. E. Hoyt, Miss Lois Whitney, 

Mrs. Josiah Anstice and Miss A. E. M. 

Wild. 

Articles for the Doll's Fair may be sent 

to Mrs. A. S. Hamilton, 71 South Washington 

street, or to Mrs. C. H. Babcock, 

151 Plymouth Ave. 

Articles for the Children's Pavilion Table 

will be thankfully received by Mrs. Charles 

H. Angel, 87 East Ave. 

Mrs. Erickson Perkins will have the care 

of the flower and candy table. 

Mrs. Clark Johnston, the care of the Mite 

Boxes—to her the old ones may be returned 

and from her new ones procured. 

Subscriptions for the HOSPITAL REVIEW 

may be made to Mrs. Robert Mathews ; 

also, donations for the Children's Pavilion. 

Mrs. Wm. H. Perkins, the treasurer, will 

be happy to secure the cash donations for 

the expenses of the Hospital. The managers 

trust that all will cheerfully give for 

this object donations as they are able. "If 

thou hast much give plenteously ; if thou 

hast little do thy diligence gladly to give of 

that little." 

Donations for any of these objects may 

be sent to any of the lady managers : 

Mrs. M. Strong, Mrs. Wm. H. Perkins, 

Mrs. M. M. Mathews, Mrs. A. D. Smith, 

Mrs. Freeman Clarke, Mrs. D. B. Beach, 

Mrs. J. H. Brewster, Mrs. H. H. Morse, 

Mrs. Clark Johnston, Mrs. H. F. Smith, 

Mrs. Myron Adams, Miss A. S. Mumford, 

Mrs. M. Landsberg, Miss A. E. M. Wild, 

Mrs. L. S. Chapin, Mrs. Wm. E. Hoyt, 

Mrs. J. Anstice, Mrs. A. S. Hamilton, 

Mrs. Oscar Craig, Miss Lois Whitney. 


The Managers this year would make a 

special appeal to their patrons, as their 

needs are unusually pressing. Their treasury 

is not only empty, but a debt of about 

$12,000 is resting on the institution. The 

report of the Secretary, given in the November 

REVIEW, indicates the work done 

the past year in this institution, but it is not 

current expenses alone that have crippled 

this charity. 

During the last four years necessary 

work or improvements, such as heating by 

steam, sewage, completing the small pavilions 

needed for isolating patients, the carrying 

on of the training school for nurses, 

finishing rooms in the dome, and other 

outlays, that the true interests of the 

Hospital made imperative, have from year 

to year, in addition to the current expenses, 

made heavy drafts upon the treasury, and 

the Managers feel some special efforts must 

be made to liquidate the debt and enable 

them to provide for the current expenses of 

the Hospital. 

Those who have had sickness in their 

own homes know that it is expensive.


Large, well-ventilated appartments are essential 

to the recovery of the sick, but it 

costs a good deal to heat them ; nourishing 

food is strengthening, but it has to be paid 

for ; weak and nervous persons demand a 

great deal of nursing, and many assistants 

are necessary to properly care for the 

invalids. 

In our frequent visits to the institution 

we have been amazed, in case of serious 

accidents, to see how quickly surgeons and 

surgical instruments and appliances, nurses, 

friends and priests eould be collected, offering 

their ministries to the sufferer, but 

this is attended with heavy expenses, and 

the community that enjoys such privileges, 

we trust will liberally respond to the call of 

those who conscientiously and carefully seek 

to dispense the bounty of which they are 

made the almoners. The sick and the 

maimed, the helpless and the suffering, 

plead through this charity, and we trust the 

response on Donation Days will be proportionate 

to the needs of the Rochester City 

Hospital. 

Come to the Banquet. 

The ladies of the Jewish, Universalist, 

St. Luke's, Methodist, Brick, St. Paul's, St. 

Peter's and Christ churches, invite their 

friends to dine and sup with them at Power's 

Building, on Thursday, December ioth, 

and on the following day (Friday, December 

nth), guests will be welcomed to the 

tables of the Baptist, Plymouth, First Presbyterian 

and Central churches, and that of 

Mrs. J. H. Brewster, Mrs. J. C. Hart and 

Mrs. H. H. Morse. 

Supplies for the tables may be sent to 

Powers 1 Building, where ladies will be ready 

to receive them. Those designed to be 

used on Thursday should be sent on that 

day, and those for Friday should be sent 

on that day. 

The little folks must be on the lookout 

for Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sprat's invitations 

to the Doll's Fair. 


The Fancy Table. 

The Fancy Table, in charge of Miss A. 

S. Mumford, assisted by Mrs. Wm. E. 

Hoyt, Miss Lois Whitney, Mrs. Josiah Anstice 

and Miss A. E. M. Wild, will present 

an attractive display of fancy and useful 

articles, from which acceptable Christmas 

gifts may be selected. Among these are 

after-dinner coffee cups and saucers, decorated 

with dog-woods, kalmias, forget-menots, 

fringed chrysanthemums, buttercups, 

anemones, jasmines and grasses ; royal 

Worcester broth-bowl, pitchers and other 

decorated china. For the babies there are 

dainty garments ; one handsome white 

woolen cloak is lined with satin and 

trimmed with beaver ; then there are 

afghans and embroidered carriage pillows, 

and knit and crochetted articles. In the 

apron line are beautifully hem-stitched 

aprons, and more serviceable ones for 

waitresses and nurses. There are chair 

scarfs, and satchet bags, and invalids' slippers, 

and sweet balsam bags, draw satchets, 

and an endless variety of pretty things. 

In connection with this department there 

is to be a house keepers' table, where there 

will be holders, wash cloths, pickles, canned 

fruit, jellies and lotions. 

Any donations to this table may be sent 

to Miss A. S. Mumford, Troup street. 

The Doll's Fair. 

We expect the children will go wild over 

the Doll's Fair. Between four and five 

hundred dolls are to hold a reception, and 

you can buy them at any price you want, 

from ten cents upwards. They are not to 

be crowded together as they were last year, 

for such fine babies and ladies as some of 

them are, must be treated with more dignity. 

When we were young, friends used 

to say : " Little folks must be seen but not 

heard," but people do not believe that now, 

and our musical dolls would feel insulted 

if they had to keep still. They like to be



whirled around, and will thank those who 

favor them with such suitable attention, by 

giving them tunes from the operas. We 

have grand dolls in tailor-made suits, with 

muffs, and tippets, and hats, made to order. 

We have baby dolls, and rubber dolls, dude 

dolls in swallow* tail coats and stove pipe 

hats, horse jockey dolls in fancy costume, 

Punch and Judy dolls, negro dolls, and 

dolls with common clothes, such as children 

like • to play with. We are to have a 

regular millinery department, and bonnets 

from fashionable milliners in Rochester and 

New York. The boys need not think they 

are forgotten for we are to have a corner 

for them, where there will be balls, knives, 

banks, soap-bubble-blowers, and lots of 

pretty things. 

Those who saw the pretty brass bedsteads 

last year will find more of the same 

kind on Donation Day, and the boxes of 

dolls with complete wardrobes, bath tubs 

and doll furniture, the swinging cradles, 

and fancy penwipers, will be sure to find 

custorners. 

The Children's Pavilion Table. 

The young folks, as usual, are making 

great preparations for Donation Days. The 

Pavilion Table is to be in charge of Mrs. 

Charles H. Angel, who for so many years 

has had the Children's Cot Table. She is 

assisted by ten little girls, many, of whom 

have been earnest workers for the Cot 

Fund. You will recognize them when we 

tell you their names : Edith Peck, Julia 

Robinson, Bessie Backus, Maggie Ashley, 

Madge Backus, Emma Wilder, Mabel Waters, 

Helen Williams, Laura Williams, Victoria 

Raymond. They are to sell fancy 

and useful articles, children's toys, homemade 

candy, and any contributions to this 

table will be thankfully received, and may 

be sent to Mrs. C. H. Angel, 87 East avenue, 

or Mrs. Robert Mathews, 96 Spring 

street. Anything that will sell will be appropriate 

for this table. 

The Children's Pavilion Fund. 

Kind friends from out of town, as well 

as the little folks in the city, are remembering 

our needs, and sending us brick money. 

A lady from New Jersey accompanies a 

donation with the following words: "Straw 

is no longer needed in the formation of 

bricks, paper being a good substitute, so I 

enclose a small amount to assist in the pile 

you are accumulating." One dollar comes 

to us from little Ruth Osborne, of Auburn, 

the second offering earned by her for the 

Pavilion Fund. Thomas Burgess, Jr., of 

St. Albans,,Vermont, sends us brick money 

that he has earned, and his mother makes 

an offering for his baby brother. A friend 

gives us an offering for little Adelaide Devine. 

Russell Parker Yites subscribes for 

a brick, and Emily Brewster and her twin 

sisters, Carrie and Sally, each bring their 

Thanksgiving offering. We wish that on 

the bricks given by the dear little children 

we could have photographs of their sunny 

faces. On Donation Days Mrs. Robert 

Mathews will receive donations to the 

Children's Pavilion Fund, and Master Laurance 

Angel will also sell bricks. 

••• 

The Hospital Review. 

The Treasurer of the REVIEW will be 

very thankful if the subscribers to the RE- 

VIEW will renew their subscriptions on Donation 

Day, and thus save the trouble of 

collecting them from house to house. We 

are very anxious to increase our subscription 

list. We seek in the REVIEW to make 

known the work and needs of the Hospital 

and report what our friends are doing for 

it. We also have choice selections and 

some original miscellany. We will be very 

thankful if some of our readers will ask 

their neighbors to subscribe, and bring us 

their names, addresses, and the sixty-two 

cents that is the subscription price for one 

year.

Hospital Patients. 

On the last day of November we visited 

the Hospital. The snow was just disappearing 

from the city streets, but it still 

formed a pure mantle for the Hospital 

• lawn, from which settees, tents, and hammocks 

had disappeared. The sound of the 

hammer indicated that work was progressing 

within the new Children's Pavilion, the 

exterior of which appeared to be nearly 

completed. It was a day to appreciate the 

improvement made in the Hospital grounds 

by placing a stone walk from the side walk 

to the north entrance of the Hospital. 

As we entered the reception room, the 

recorder was telephoning and making arrangements 

to summon relatives to the dying 

bed of a patient, who, three days before, 

had been brought to the Hospital, and who 

was evidently nearing the dark valley. 

Twenty two patients were receiving 

treatment in the Male Surgical Ward. As 

we entered, the nurse was dressing the 

limb of a man, who, some weeks since, 

while making arrangements for scraping a 

chimney, fell and broke his hip. He still 

has weights attached to his limb, but, with 

the support of pillows and an inclined 

plane, he can sit up in bed, and amuse himself 

with a book. He and six other patients 

are confined to their cots. One of 

these is suffering from a burn, which is 

slowly healing ; another was brought in on 

Thanksgiving day, with a compound fracture 

of the leg; the surgeons hope to save 

the limb. A third is an aged gentleman 

who needs care, having dislocated his 

shoulder. One man, who had been brought 

in from Churchville, had been injured by a 

railroad accident. His system had received 

a general shock, and it was feared there 

were internal injuries. The night previous 

he was supposed to be dying, but under 

the influence of stimulants he had rallied 

and seemed more comfortable. The man 

whose leg and arm had been fractured by 

a railroad accident, was doing as well as 

could be expected, considering the severity 

of the wounds. The man who last month 

was reported as suffering from a punctured 

wound died on Thanksgiving day. In 

May last, when engaged in his work as a 

butcher, his knife slipped and entered his 

side. After being brought to the Hospital 

a free opening had been made, and an aspirating 

tube introduced ; a large amount 

of pus had been discharged, for a time 

benefiting the patient; but his life could 

not be saved. A man recovering from dislocated 

hip, was sitting up for the first time. 

One patient had a punctured wound in the 

calf of the leg, made by a piece of glass. 

The man with gangrenous ulcer, was still 

in one of the pavilions, and the other was 

occupied by a fever patient; both of these 

cases required isolation. 

There were twenty-one patients in the 

Male Medical Ward. But one man had 

died during the month, and he was but a 

few days in the Hospital. One patient 

who had been but three days iti the Hospital, 

was evidently dying. He noticed 

but little that was going on around him and 

seemed unconscious of pain. One man, 

after undergoing a surgical operation, had 

his arm bandaged. One patient was afflicted 

with rheumatism, another with swollen 

limbs, a third had hernia and another 

paralysis. A young man was convalescing 

from typhoid fever. A man who came to 

the Hospital blind, and unable to cut up 

his food, had had a cataract removed and 

sight restored, but still had his eyes bandaged. 

The eczema patient, under new 

treatment, was improving. 

There were fifteen inmates in the Female 

Medical Wards. A passage way to the new 

Children's Pavilion has been made through 

the Cross Ward, and the Lying-in-Ward 

has been divided into two rooms. In one 

of these was a colored consumptive woman 

and in another two fever patients ; the 

third room in the Cross Ward, was occupied 

by a cancer patient. A woman .with



diseased heart was confined most of the 

time to her cot. The consumptive patient 

who was so sick last month had died. 

While the carpenters have been making 

changes in the Lying-in-Ward, the mothers 

and babies have been occupying rooms in 

the third story. We found six mothers, 

six babies, and three waiting patients. 

There were babies of all kinds—one a day 

old, and four babies had been born in 

forty-eight hours. One of the babies was 

colored. The smallest specimen of humanity 

we have ever seen was a little baby that 

weighed four pounds. Its mother called it 

a doll, but it seemed strong and healthy. 

There were twenty patients in the Female 

Surgical Ward ; no death had occurred 

during the month. One woman who had 

had a surgical operation for internal tumor 

was very feeble ; another was doing well 

after a surgical operation for lacerated cervix 

and perinoeum. The woman with diseased 

rib was improving, and the one with 

a compound fracture of the hip was going 

about with the aid of a cane ; her accident 

occurred more than a year ago ; she was 

crossing the street, was knocked down and 

in falling injured her hip. It was five 

months before she came to the Hosipital 

for treatment, but she expresses great gratitude 

for the care and attention she has 

received in it. She says it is a lovely place 

for the sick, and she feels thankful for the 

kindness shown her. 


If you, dear children, were to go through 

Rochester, we do not believe that you 

could find a jollier child than Sarah, our 

little colored girl from the Orphan Asylum, 

in Hubbell Park. She is between 

two and three years old, and has curvature 

of the spine, and we fear she will always be 

a cripple, but we think her sunny disposition 

will make friends for her. When 

we last saw her, she was sitting up in her 

rocking chair and the nurse was feeding 

her from hei duck-shaped drinking cup. 

She looked up to us and wanted a story. 

The nurse took out the box in which Sarah 

keeps her toys and story books, and the 

little thing took out her dog, and with a 

twinkle in her eye, and a roguish laugh, 

looked up to us as she said : " bow, wow." 

We have another little girl from the Orphan 

Asylum, Annabelle Pere. She is about 

eight years old; when she came to the Hospital 

she was cross-eyed, but Dr. Rider has 

operated upon her eye and it is doing well, 

though still somewhat inflamed. Rosa goes 

about with her crutches, and when we saw 

her she was mending one of her dresses. 

You know she is our little Jennie Wren, 

and working on dolls' dresses has taught 

her how to sew on her own clothes. Maggie 

Barry has come from Seneca Falls She 

has a sore that makes her arm and shoulder 

lame, and gives her much pain. She 

looked pale and was lying on her cot with 

her arm in a sling ; she is about twelve 

years old. The Morey girl, who fell from 

the car at Charlotte and had to have her 

leg amputated, was up, dressed, and trying 

to use some new crutches that she had that 

day received. She has recovered very 

rapidly and looks healthy. Minnie Bryant, 

who has a diseased heart, is now quite comfortable. 

In the Male Surgical Ward, we 

found four boys playing cards and one of 

these was Max Kraus. He was reclining 

on one arm and resting on the cot; he had 

on his head a harness, and the first thing 

he said to us was : " Have you got the jackstraws 

?" We hope some of our children 

will supply them. Freddy Lyons was in 

his rolling chair. Johnnie Bier, whose toe 

was smashed by a stone rolling on it, was 

at the foot of the bed. Tommy Heeney 

does not change much. Martin Meyers, 

who worked in a cabinet maker's shop, and 

lost a part of his arm and some of his 

fingers by being caught in a machine, had 

recovered and gone home. The youth who 

hurt his thigh, in the elevator at Hamilton 

& Mathews, was able to sit up in a chair a



little while during the day, but still keeps 

his cot most of the time. The little boy 

with stiff limbs is better, but his eye is still 

bandaged though the inflammation is decreasing. 

We must not close our account 

of the little folks without speaking of the 

baby in the upper nursery that weighed 

only four pounds, and is not larger than a 

good sized doll. 

Thanksgiving Day. 

How delightful it is when on Thanksgiving 

day the scattered children of a large 

family circle return to the old home, and 

in true New England style celebrate the 

autumnal jubilee. A correspondent writes 

us from New Haven, Conn.: "We spent 

the day at 'father H.'s. Sixteen were at 

the table—an unbroken family, into which 

death has not yet entered. There were 

three generations: three fine sons with 

their nice wives and children; Mrs. Cook, 

the daughter, and her husband, the Rev. 

Joseph Cook. I sat next Mr. C, and enjoyed 

his talks. He proposed we should 

all join hands and sing the doxology, 

' Praise God from whom all blessings flow. 1 

All the family are fine singers, including 

our little Josie. It was grand. Before 

parting in the evening we sang ' Rock of 

Ages."' 

To some of us Thanksgiving day brings 

mingled memories, and the vacant chairs 

remind us of those w"ho no longer mingle 

with us at the festive board. It is not 

always easy for us to sing with the poet: 

" I thank Thee for the wing of love, 

Which stirred my worldly nest; 

And for the stormy clouds which drove 

The flutterer to Thy breast." 

As we repeated these lines to one of the 

Hospital patients, who for years has been 

confined to her cot or chair, who has but 

limited use of her limbs, she, with a beautiful 

Christian spirit, responded: "You 

can see sunshine through many a cloud, if 

you only look for it," and then she and another 

patient spoke of the kindness of the 

ladies in providing such an excellent dinner 

for them on Thanksgiving day. "We had," 

said they, "turkey and every thing to go 

with it. We could not have had a better 

dinner at Powers Hotel. Everything 

looked nice and was well cooked. Miss 

Hebbard and Miss Field passed oranges 

around. You might call us the happy 

family." 

Ii is delightful to feel that a few gifts 

and kind attentions can bring joy to those 

who have so" many trials, and we wish all 

who contributed to the Thanksgiving dinner 

could have heard the expressions of 

gratitude from those who shared their 

bounty.

Correspondence. 

The following, letter explains itself, and 

shows where we have some kind friends : 

LINCOLN, N. Y., NOV. 9th, 1885. 

Mrs. M. M. Mathews: 

DEAR MADAM :—The Lincoln M. E. C, have 

thought of making a Christmas Box for the 

children in the City Hospital, letting the children 

in the Sabbath School have this for their 

Christmas, instead of a tree, and let each child 

make some little gift. None, of the children 

are rich and some quite poor, but we 

thought it would be a good thing to let them 

do what they could. I saw the annual report, 

sent to the Post Express by you, and thought 

it a good plan to write to you for information 

as to what would be most acceptable, what 

toys and books they would receive with pleasure. 

Would they like scrap-books, picturebooks, 

dolls, etc. ? How would they like a 

pretty quilt to be pieced and have it for the 

bed of some little child who needed something 

to busy its little mind and keep it away from 

its pain ? This to be kept and passed around 

as it was needed. If this would be liked what 

size shall we make it? Have you any very 

sick children with you ? Can you not write 

me something to excite the interest of the 

school and rouse their sympathies? We have 

also thought of having a concert, and taking a 

fee to send with the box, to enable the work of 

the addition to go on. Please write me at once 

if you can. Yours in the faith of Christ, 

MRS. B. L. PEACOCK, 

LINCOLN, Wayne Co., N. Y. 

When the threshold of your heart is 

sore with the tread of departing joys, 

remember that Christ is emptying you 

of all else, that he may fill you with 

himself.

The Nasturtium in Winter. 

But I have never had any plant that 

gave greater pleasure and brighter 

blooms than the climbing Nasturtium. 

I remember that I had one winter a 

box containing two or three vines of 

the Lobbianum varieties. They were 

trained around the back end of the pit, 

and the gay blooms were produced in 

great numbers. I think I have never 

had any flowers so admired during the 

winter.—From " Blooming Plants for

AT THE 

ROCHESTEE CITY HOSPITAL 

I WAS SICK AND YE VISITED ME,' 

VOL. XXII. ROCHESTER, N. Y., JANUARY 15, 1886. No. 6 


The Donation Days, December ioth and 

nth, have come and gone, and the Treasurer's 

report indicates how generously the 

citizens responded to our appeal. Many 

willing hands worked dilligently and untiringly 

for the City Hospital, and the cash 

receipts were larger than on any previous 

donation festival, and we were glad to 

welcome some new faces among the donors, 

proving that the Hospital is constantly 

gaining new friends. We should indeed be 

tingrateful if we did not appreciate the liberal 

contributions of our patrons, but as the 

amount raised was not sufficient to meet our 

indebtedness, and as the current expenses 

are constantly going on, making large drafts 

upon our treasury, we must confess we cannot 

give up the hope that funds will yet be 

raised to relieve the Managers, whose 

hearts are still burdened by the debt resting 

on the institution, and whose hands are 

crippled when they would gladly devise 

liberal things for the invalids. 

Our Treasurer suggests that if among the 

good people of Rochester who have not yet 

responded to the appeal, not having been 

able to avail themselves of the pleasure 

and privilege of attending the donation on 

the ioth and nth of last month, one thousand 

could be found to give from $i to $5 

each, the debt would be paid quickly, and 

the work of the opening year taken up with



fresh courage and zeal. Any such gifts can 

be sent to the Treasurer or to any of the 

lady managers. 

Through the generous courtesy of our 

constant benefactor, Mr. Daniel W. Powers, 

whose name is a synonym of largehearted 

hospitality, we welcomed our 

friends in Powers 1 Hall and the adjoining 

apartments, and the tastefully arranged 

boards and tempting viands made our refreshment 

tables a source of large receipts. 

The Reception Committee, the Treasurer 

of the City Hospital and the Treasurer of 

the " Hospital Review," were stationed at 

the south side of Powers' Hall. On Thursday 

the ladies of the Jewish, Universalist, 

St. Luke's, Methodist, Brick, St. Paul's, St. 

Peter's and Christ churches welcomed their 

friends, and, on the following day, guests 

were feasted at the tables of the First Baptist, 

Plymouth, First Presbyterian and Central 

churches, and at that of Mrs. J. H. 

Brewster, Mrs. H. H. Morse and Mrs. J. 

C. Hart. Our florists made liberal contributions 

that, with the addition of fruit, 

formed centre pieces to the tables. On 

St. Paul's Church table was a model of St. 

Paul's church, given by Buck & Sanger. 

The stone blocks were represented by parallelograms 

of tongue, the window sashes 

by confectionery, and the interior was filled 

with boned turkey. On the Brick Church 

table was a handsome candied fruit centre 

piece, donated by Mr. John Roberts. On 

the west side of Powers' Hall was the oyster 

and coffee table of Mrs. Oscar Craig, Mrs. 

A. H. McVean, Mrs. Thomas Chester, and 

Mrs. H. P. Brewster. Mr. Scott W. Updike, 

Mr. A. O. Gordon, Mr. Wm. Pierce, 

Mr. R. D. Ashley and Mr. A. Wile officiated 

as carvers. 

In the hall south of Powers' Hall, Mrs. 

Clarke Johnston received and distributed 

the mite boxes, and Miss Mattie Pond and 

Ella Durand sold tickets for Esmeralda. 

There, too, were spread the fancy tables 

under the direction of Mrs. C. H. Angel, 

for the Children's PAvilion fund The little 

folks before and during the donation 

worked nobly for this object, and their 

zeal and industry are worthy of all commendation. 

The ten little maidens, Edith 

Peck, Julia Robinson, Bessie Backus, Maggie 

Ashley, Madge Backus, Emma Wilder,. 

Mabel Waters, Helen Williams, Laura Williams 

and Victoria Raymond, had made and 

collected many pretty fancy and useful articles, 

and on Donation Day, dressed in 

their Normandy caps, they presided assaleswomen 

at the fancy tables. Our youn& 

friend Laurance Angel, who has always labored 

for the Cot Fund, before and during 

the festival worked vigorously in selling 

bricks for the Pavilion, and raised $40.00. 

Frity Ward and Connie Wilder sold soap 

bubble blowers one day, and the next had a 

Christmas tree, sent by Mr. Frost, ready for 

use, and from which they sold articles at 

ten cents each. 

On the Pavilion table was a very handsome 

bronzed and gilded work basket,, 

mounted on a tripod and lined with orange 

satin, the work of Miss Laura Selden ; here, 

also, were some pretty landscapes painted 

by Miss Annice; a seaside view, by Mr- 

Charles Baker: a doll's bedstead and dressing 

table, by Mrs. S. S. Avery; a blue plush 

wall pocket with bronzed sprays of blackberries, 

and a spider web, also a scrap basket,, 

and fancy articles by Mrs. W. J. Ashley; 

plush foot rests, by Mrs. L. A. Ward ; 

painted easels, thermometer case, padlocks,, 

and frames, by Miss Clarice Jeffrey; a doll, 

dressed by Jennie and Helen Osgood; 

painted dinner cards, by Bessie Kingman, a 

painted book, by Miss Fairchild, and some 

home-made candy. 

In the large room east of the hall were 

the Doll's Fair and Miss Mumford's Fancy 

Table. The Doll's Fair contained every 

variety'of doll that could be desired, and 

everything pertaining to a doll. In connection 

with this Fair, Mrs. C. F. Paine had 

prepared five hundred cornucopias of pop


corn and candy, and Clara Landsberg and 

Esther Chapin were very active in selling 

these. On Miss Mumford's Fancy Table 

were two very beautiful silk quilts made by 

Mrs. S. G. Andrews. The large one was 

made of pearl-colored watered silk stripes 

and embroidered ribbons; it was lined with 

pink silk, wadded with wool, and was 

quilted. The smaller one was for a child's 

bed. Miss Whitney's decorated cups, 

saucers, plates and dishes were very much 

admired. There was a fine display of toilet 

cushions. Some embroidered on bolting 

cloth were very delicate. A dainty white 

cloak for a child came from Mrs. A. D. 

Fiske, N. Y. 

In one of the small rooms Misses Augusta 

Whitney, Bessie Kingman and Laidily Harris, 

made, by a sideshow, $26.64. They had a 

smoking doll dressed as a dude, with white • 

pants, blue vest, red coat, stovepipe hat and 

gilt trinkets. When wound up he would 

put a cigarette in his mouth, turn his head, 

wink his eyes, emit smoke from his mouth, 

put his eyeglass to his eye and look around 

with a self-satisfied air that pleased the little 

folks. 

In another room Mrs. George H. Perkins, 

Mrs. W. H. Ward and Miss Selden 

had their "Always Ready Tea Table," 

where they were complimented for their 

Oolong and English breakfast teas. In the 

same room Mrs. Erickson Perkins had her 

Flower Table and Mrs. Alexander Thompson 

her candy table. Among the contributions 

to the flower table were a profusion of 

chrysanthemums, bouvardias and hyacinths. 

Some choice roses, lilies, and a rare orchid 

came from Mr. William S. Kimball. 

We have endeavored to report correctly 

every donation, but we doubt not our list 

contains many errors and omissions; we 

will cheerfully make any correction if 

notice be sent to Mrs. S. H. Terry, 36 

South Washington street. 

The reports from the Mite boxes will appear 

next month. 


Esmeralda. 

On Tuesday evening, December 15,1885 

a select and appreciative audience gathered 

at the Eureka club rooms, where, according 

to previous announcement, members 

of the Eureka club and others delighted 

their friends with the presentation 

of Esmeralda. The appointments of the 

hall and the arrangements for the play were 

very complete, and the opinion was universally 

expressed that it was the best amateur 

performance ever given in Rochester. The 

characters were all well sustained, and the 

evening was a very enjoyable one. Mr. A. E. 

Wollf, both as "Farmer Rogers" and "Monsieur 

Rogare," enacted his part admirably. 

His attachment to the old home and simple 

country life, his fear of " Mulher," his love 

for the little daughter, his sympathy for the 

lover, and his "good-natured endurance of 

the limitations of fashionable society, including 

the burden of gloves and the Parisian 

dialect,, were portrayed with great 

power. Miss Celia Stern as "Lydia Ann" 

was the dominant spirit of the play. 

"Excelsior" was evidently her motto, and 

when the old home and simple life were 

left behind, she gracefully accepted the rich 

toilets and the surroundings of high life in 

Paris, as if "to the manner born." The 

charming " Esmeralda," Miss Mamie Garson, 

won all heart?, and we wondered not 

that Mr. Maurice Garson as "Dave Hardy," 

was loath to resign his "little girl," and felt 

his cup of bliss was filled to the brim when 

once more he could claim her as his own. 

The studio was very artistically arranged, 

and the scenes within it were very life-like. 

Mr J. Herbert Grant most acceptably personated 

"Estabrook," and Mr. Marcus 

Straus "Jack Desmond." Miss Amelia 

Harris and Miss Mamie R. Wollf were the 

pleasing, attractive sisters of "Jack Desmond," 

and their absorption in their painting 

at times, and their coy flirtations at 

others, added much to the interest of the 

play. Their lady-like bearing and tasteful



toilets were in harmony with their artistic 

surroundings. Mr. A. S.Guggenheimer made 

a capital " Marquis de Montessin," and the 

scene between him and " Monsieur Rogare" 

was much applauded. 

We are greatly indebted to Messrs. John 

Rodenbeck, Martin Muldauer, George Weineman, 

W. C. Hadley, Gardner, R. H. 

Lansing and John Raybould, for their acceptable 

gratuitous orchestral services ; to 

Mr. Martin E. Wollf, who displayed great 

taste in his arrangements as stage manager ; 

to the Eureka club for the free use of their 

beautiful hall; to Mr. Joseph Levi, head 

usher, and Messrs. M. Hummell, S. Garson, 

George Perkins, Granger Hollister, Haywood 

Hawks and Warham Whitney, who 

also officiated as ushers; to Mr. Gates, of 

Grand Opera House, for selling tickets; to 

Ailing & Cory, for cardboard for tickets; to 

the Democrat and Chronicle for printing 

the same; to the Union and Advertiser for 

programmes; to Messrs. C. J. Hayden. Jeffrey, 

Mudge, MilHman and Teall for chairs; 

to Messrs. I. H. Dewey, Salter Brothers, A. 

Beir, J. Ludwig, Howe & Rogers and A. 

Sichel for articles for decorating and furnishing 

the stage ; and to all who in any way 

contributed to the success of "' Esmeralda." 

As the avails of the entertainment, the 

City Hospital reaped a benefit of $407.50. 

The Children's Pavilion Fund. 

The contributions to the children's Pavilion 

fund come to us so full of loving 

work and tender memories, we feel they 

must be blessed by the Master. We joyfully 

welcome the children's offerings, as 

we do the breath of the first Spring violets, 

harbingers and earnests of greater blessings 

yet in store for us. 

We have so many friends we hardly 

know where to begin to enumerate them. 

We desire to thank every one of them that 

worked so diligently for the Pavilion table 

before and at the Donation Festival. Our 

young friend Laurance Angel comes to us 

with one hundred and one names and $40 

for bricks. Herbert Siddons Mann brings 

us $21, his second collection of Pavilion 

brick money, and Miss E. G. Wilson, of 

Wolcott, sends us one dollar for mortar, 

with which to put his bricks together. The 

following petition was presented by Herbert 

Siddons Mann when collecting for the 

Children's Pavilion Fund : 

Dear Everybody, will you please 

Do what you can to help increase 

My fund, and make a good array, 

For me to give Donation Day ? 

It's for poor children who are sick, 

And if you'll give me first one brick, 

(That's five and twenty cents you know), 

It all will help my list to grow! 

But if you choose to give me more, 

Your wish I'll surely not ignore, 

For I want the list to be so high 

That God can see it in the sky! 

Eighteen bricks are collected by Marion 

M. Reid. 

The memorial offerings that come to us 

are some of them very touching. One is 

$5 sent from Fort Lowell, Arizona, in memory 

of John Throop Martin, who was born 

in Rochester January 22, 1884, and died 

January 22, 1885. Another of fifteen dollars 

is in memory of two little cousins, Lillian 

Isabel Morse and Kate Louise Howland. 

One is from Geneseo, "in memory 

of a loved one." Two are in memory of 

two little brothers, safe in the upper fold, 

and are the contents of the dear children's 

banks that have long been unopened ; little 

Arthur Yates died April 16, 1879 » n * s 

brother, Howard L. Yates, died April 20, 

1884. A memorial offering of two dollars 

from the bank of Olive Joy Williams was 

sent on her birthday, December 3d. Eight 

bricks come from Fanny Converse Gould^ 

of Brooklyn, two years old, who was so interested 

in the children's Pavilion that she 

went to sleep singing to herself : " Four 

bricks from little Fanny ! " Six bricks come 

from Holley. Four from Chester Dewey 

Averell, Ogdensburg. Freddy DePuy, four 

years old, sends us from Tioga, Ont., two


bricks, one of which he earned. Emily, Carrie, 

Sallie and Franklin Brewster send us $5 

brick money, and the same amount is 

brought by Sylvanus J. Macy, Jr., who has 

just recovered from scarlet fever. Dear 

little Marguerita A. Ely lifts up her baby 

hand with her offering "for the sick children." 

Agnes B. Raines brings us $1,which 

she earned, giving three bricks for herself 

and one as a birthday present for her brother 

Eugene. Isabella Hart sends us her annual 

offering of $5; then we have $10 from 

Gabrielle Clarke, and four bricks from Arthur 

S. Hamilton, Jr. 

For a long list of offerings we must refer 

to Mrs. R. Mathews report. We thank all 

who have helped us and are always happy 

to receive offerings.

resolved that a vote, of thanks should

the delightful evening's entertainment given 

by them December 15, 1885, which not only 

afforded so much pleasure to the audience, but 

also brought into the treasury the handsome 

sum of $407.50. It was also resolved that their 

thanks should be extended to the gentlemen of 

the club for the generous donation of their 

theater for the evening, and to all who gave 

their musical services, making an entertainment
